A few days ago, one of my friend PC got trouble. When she pressed the power button to turn on the PC, Windows XP loading and a few seconds later, it restarted again and again. At first I thought it caused by some kind of virus which show similar symptoms like that. But at second thought, I wasn’t sure about it since the PC has updated antivirus which automatically download the new virus database online from its manufacturer.

The next suspect was hardware failure. I tried to check the BIOS for some abnormalities and I could not find it. I opened the case and tried to remove some devices (RAMs,harddrive) to check whether one of them cause this. But nothing change!

So, what to do next? I tried to restart the PC again and watched the Windows loading process. And bingo! At the end of loading, for a second I saw the bluescreen of death (bsod) showed up quickly and the PC restarted again. I repeated that step until I could see the exact error message displayed on the bsod. Finally, the error said, STOP 0×000000ED UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME. I googled the web and found a solution.

Requirement:

Windows XP CD-ROM

Step by step:

1.Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and then restart the computer. (make sure your BIOS use CD-ROM as 1st boot priority)
2.When the “Welcome to Setup” screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
3.At the command prompt, type chkdsk /r , and then press ENTER.
4.Wait until the process finish and restart your machine.

This may takes a bit longer, but the system should boot back into Windows.

This is a good news for you since you don’t have to develop the negatives, scan the photos and finally get them in digital format.

How does this hi-tech gadget work ?

Simply plug it in your USB port, slip a negative or slide into the respective holder and push it through. The image then appears on screen.
