My son has windows xp, he was loading a game, and the computer froze, now when he restarted he got the blue screen of death - unmountable boot volume, I fixed this once before, I downloaded the boot cd ( 6 ) floppys, but then it asks for the windows xp cd, last time I had a coworker with xp home e dition, But he no longer works here. Any suggestions? PLEASE HELP - My son is physically disabled & cannot write and this is the only way he has to complete his school work!!!!

Unless you have a legal version of XP to install, you are out of luck as you need the cd..
Your options will be to go back to whatever legal operating system you have handy and install that or buy a legal copy of XP !!

This probably won't help but you could download the boot disks and access the recovery console. From there you can try running a chkdsk. However if the error you are getting is unmountable boot volume then you probably will not be able to access the correct drive to run the chkdsk.
