I tried the chkdsk and fixboot but that did not work. Continues to go back to the blue screen. I do not want to reinstall for I want to keep the data I have on my laptop. Dell Inspiron 1520. Any suggestions????

Whats the stop error you are getting? Example: STOP: 0x000000ED This is the first portion of the error. Post it if you can

Unmountable Boot Volume may mean that you're file system is corrupted. A repair install could fix the problem; Repair Install step by step Another option is to download this app and build a recovery CD; DiskInternals Boot CD But I think the repair install will do the job. BUT! If it doesn't, Try the other option.

Still want to see the stop error though!

Will bring the computer back up and post the error. Thank you for responding.

Here is the message that was on the screen:
