    Hi. I have been charged with fixing a friend's computer. When she turned it on, she got the blue screen of death. A restart did nothing. I now have the machine. I have tried booting in safe mode, last known config, using the recovery console to run chkdsk /r, and I am still getting the bsod. The error on the blue screen is unmountable boot volume and the second parameter of the STOP is 0xC0000006. I don't know what to do at this point. I read about using TestDisk but I don't see how to get the program onto the machine. I've never dealt with this specific problem before so I'd appreciate some advice.

    Dead hard drive is the first guess. You can always simply boot from a Windows CD (XP, Win 7) and try to format and reinstall to see if it works.
