HELP!
I been using my bro's laptop for the past 9 days for everything, including this () because on my desktop I keep getting this "Unmountable boot volume" blue screen of death thing. I had this happen in 2005 and I fixed it after 10 days, but I don't remeber how I did it. It is my 6 year old desktop. It has Windows XP Home edition and is a Dell .
Any help??

It's likely to be a corrupt file system or a bad HDD.

You can attempt to run chkdsk on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHKDSK

Re: HELP!
Reason why I ask is because no screen comes up when I stick the CD in.
Re: HELP!
Make sure the Laptop will boot from CD.
Enter BIOS/CMOS, it is usually one of the following five keys -
* F1
* F2
* DEL
* ESC
* F10
For example my Laptop uses F2 (while my box uses Del), but from there, it is usually the same set-up.
Once there, depending on again, which kind of BIOS/CMOS set-up it is, head over to the boot part. For my laptop, it is simply 'boot' tab then click the 'cd/dvd' for that option. For my box, I believe you go to advanced, and it has a list of boot options in an order, which is set on checking CD drive first, then Harddrive.
Anyway, make sure your laptop checks the disk-drive. Then it goes fine. It is usually configured automatically do this, but as in this case where it isn't, this is sort of where you go to look.

Re: HELP!
I got a desktop, not a laptop. But I'll try this anyhow.
Re: HELP!
It works for both laptops and desktops. I just said laptop as I saw the laptop bit earlier and assumed you was on about a Dell Laptop.

Yes I'm using a laptop because my desktop is the one that broke.
