    have windows XP and a power shut down caused my computer to shut off
    improperly. On power up, I get the blue screen, unmountable_boot_volume. My
    computer did not come with a recovery cd, so I downloaded ultimatebootcd
    program to help reaid the problem, as I can not start in safe mode or any
    other mode. I burned ultimatebootcd onto a disc and put into my PC. I changed
    the settings so 1st boot would be my cd drive. When I try to open windows
    recovery console, it says 'Starting wondows recovery console" then "Please
    wait", and then the blue screen.
    When I press F6 to to use scsi or raid drivers, all it says it that setup
    could not find a floppy drive on my machine to laod drivers.
    So how do I fix the blue screen if I can't load a disc, and a can't get into
    recovery console to do a scan disk?

    What kind of hdd setup do you have? Single drive? RAID? You should not need drivers for a single drive.

    What does the blue screen say when you try to go into recovery console?
