Laptop won't start

[imheretostay]

My moms laptop won't start, all of a sudden. I've tried safemode and all that, but each time, when it gets to the screen where it should load Windows, it gives the blue screen of death, with these error messages:

 

This one is on the very top:

 

UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

 

This one near the bottom:

 

0x000000 0x81AD65D0, 0xC0000006, 0x000000, 0x000000

Looks like the boot sector on the hard drive is corrupt.

 

Check this

 

Use Win XP boot CD to load the recovery console and follow this procedure.

 

Also, this is usually casued by a power outage or a dodgy power connection to the drive. If not it could have been a virus. Check and make sure there are no Viruses and the drive is fitted correctly.

Thanks, fixed it. She says she was installing Office 2003, but her laptop is from 2002, so it's quite weak. I suppose the most likely reason is power outage.
