Every time I attempt to restart my computer, I end up with a blue screen telling me I have an unmountable boot error. I've tried restarting my computer in safe mode and restoring my last known good configuration, which worked the last time I got this error. Also, I've tried to boot from my XP reinstallation cd. When I hit F12 at the prompt, nothing happens, and it just takes me to the blue screen. I've also tried ctrl+F11. I'd really appriciate any help.

I would guess a Hardware failure, loke maybe the Hardrive

Most likely the hard drive has died, but ...

Look at the hard drive to see who the manufacturer is, then go to their web site and download their diagnostic utility. It's available as a diskette image or bootable CD iso image. Create either then boot it and run it against the hard drive, see if it reports and error.

You don't burn the iso file itself to CD., you create a CD from the iso file using your CD burning software. There is a good freeware burner called DeepBurner which will do this. Another called ISO Recorder is also very easy to use.
