cant get to my desktop, and in a roundabout manner by pressing the F8 button, then one of the selections I get this blue screen with the UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_ VOLUME message. have to press the power button to exit and CPU powers down.
If someone can assist with detailed instruction on how to get back to a desktop.
I have a Dell 8300 Dimension 8300 Series
Bios version A05
3.2 GHZ
Level 2 Cache: 512kb Integrated
I do have the XP home edition disk and have gone into the "Boot Menu" selected the option that states to boot from the "CD Rom" (where the XP disk is in) yet when I select this option, it goes back to that initial screen (not the blue screen) that give options that any of them take me back to "Circle" of coming back to this screen.
any help and detailed instruction is appreciated
