Everything went fine for a few weeks. UNTILL. today i was on the same laptop and my mom by accident pulled out the cord. So i started the computer up (battery is dead hasnt worked in years) and got STOP 0x000000ED error, and a few other numbers. I know and searched about this, so called UNMOUNTABLE VOLUME. So is the only way to fix it, to do what i did before and make my dad not be able to use this laptop /his for a day? Switching hdd to the good pc then doing recovery disks. (The cdrom doesnt work on the bad laptop). Is there an easy way out? And why did this happen?
