Hey Pilot, my computer blue screens whenever I turn it on.
No, really.
I can't run it in safe mode...since that blue screens as well. I'm running Windows XP Home.
What happens is that I turn it on, enter the system password, and a screen with a timer at the bottom offers me Safe Mode, Safe mode with Networking, and Safe Mode with Command prompt. I think it says "Start Windows Normally" or something along those lines, too, then it loads to the OS booting screen, a ndBlue screens with UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME puked on it.
It's been like this for about a month. I use it for editing my HILARIOUS VIDEOS and stuff, but this is a pain in the ass.

You'll need an XP Home CD to start the computer off of. When windows setup loads, it will offer an option to press "R" for recovery console. Once in recovery console you'll be met with a pseudo-dos prompt where you can enter commands. Three commands ought to do the trick, unless your drive has had some kind of physical damage.
First, run CHKDSK.
After CHKDSK is done, run FIXMBR. Confirm/continue through any warnings and prompts that may pop up.
After FIXMBR, run FIXBOOT.
Then, after you run all three of those, restart the computer and eject the XP disk.
