What is going on is it will crash with the same blue screen "unmountable_boot_volume" and at just anytime during the OS install most of the time when it reboots to install os after format and file copy but sometimes it will complete then when it reboots to finalize it will crash but the strange thing is when I get the os to at least install it works just fine in safe mode but crashes before entering normal mode. Never seen this one before.
Did you reflash the bios yet?
Yes and is the same. I informed the customer and she doesn't want to put any more money into it so she is on her way to get it. PC is possessed.
LOL more likely just the ide interface is damaged.
I believe your correct. She filled me in on another bit of information when she picked it up, she has had 2 motherboards replaced when it was on warranty. A lemon.
Oh nice of her to tell you that AFTER you pulled out most of your hair and reconsidered your career choice!
Maybe you should add a question like, "Did you ever have to return it when it was in warranty?" in future..
Lol I think so. Funny thing is I believe I did ask her if anyone else had worked on it. Maybe she thought I meant anyone else except the manufacturer. Oh well it is gone. Thanks for the input as always.
