i dropped my laptop while online. it continued to function, but when i turned it on again, got the blue screen with unmountable boot volume; followed ms instructions & created 6 floppies intending to use recovery console. ran the 1st 4 floppies, but unable to complete process since in the 5th floppy, get the following message:
file ntfs.sys caused unexpected error (1027) at line 5010 in d:\xpclient\base\boot\setup\setup.c
any suggestions?
