chimpy Posted April 3, 2011 ID:410422 Share Posted April 3, 2011 My friend was upgrading to FireFox v 4 and his PC crashed, he got a blue screen saying "Unmountable boot volume" which he got even in safe mode, I googled the anwser for him so he is now trying to find his disc to repair it but seeing as he runs XP I think I remember seeing on the FF site that v4 was for Vista upwards so that might be the reason it crashed? If so I need to find the old and latest v3. for him so it wont happen again.I have searched on the site but I don't seem to be able to see it, is it still available?Thanks.

mona7865 Posted April 3, 2011 ID:410432 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Chimpy, you can still download it from Filehippo.http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/6906/I'm using Firefox 4.0 on my XP-SP3 without any problems and FF 4.0 should work on Win XP (It's IE9 that can't be run on XP systems). Perhaps one of our experts can help your friend out with this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimpy Posted April 3, 2011 Author ID:410439 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Thanks for the link, it might have been something else that broke it while he was trying to upgrade, his PC froze and crashed I think and now it has that issue but it might be something to do with it being a old machine, its 6+ years old now but its good to hear FF4 works on XP I will tell him and send him the link Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThexDarksider Posted April 4, 2011 ID:410546 Share Posted April 4, 2011 A program like Firefox wouldn't cause a BSOD like that. UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME indicates that the file system is probably broken. I've posted about this in the other thread though. Hope your friend fixes it!

Bobc11 Posted April 4, 2011 ID:410562 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Thanks for your help everyone My younger brother (bobc8) caused the same problem, and after investigation the HD, i discovered that many sectors are corrupt. We resolved this issue by using recovery console with the command "chkdisk /r" then windows was returned to it's normal functionality. If you have any questions post.
