I am trying to repair my son's Gateway Laptop. M465 series. It is running xp pro. It seemed to be a good one though and is only 2 months old. He said he has no idea what happened to it to cause this issue. So here is the issue:
When you start up - you have the black screen asking you to start normally / safe mode etc.. When performing any of the senarios another screen comes up fast with the following: multi 0 disk [0 disk] partition [1] \windows\systems 32 drivers etc....It goes on and on. Then a blue screen comes up REAL fast and last only about 3 seconds. All I can read off of it is is UNBOOTABLE MOUNT. So what I did next was put in the re-install cd. All looks good for a couple minutes. Says its installing untill it reads - Examing disk 0 at 0 on bus 0 on iastor. I let it run a long time and still never made it past that. It just stopped.
What would be my next step? Can any one please help.
Thanks so very much
Unbootable Mount 
Linear Mode
