I have NO idea what happened. One of my family members noticed it. And they all swear nothing out of the ordinary happened. Just all of a sudden the laptop RESTARTED by itself. And when it was going through the process, it stopped at the loading screen, the flicker of a BSoD came up, and it restarted again. THis process kept continuing until I had to pull the battery out to finally turn it off.

What happens is that after the BSoD flashes up to the screen, it restarts with the options of starting in Safe Mode, The previous settings that worked, or normally. Of course, none of them worked. Not even the F8 options got to the Desktop. So basically, I'm stuck in start-up. As I load Safe Mode, the .SYS files are loading...EXCEPT for when it says "Press ESC to cancel loading SPTD.sys". I researched this file to find that it is a file used for DAEMON tools, which I know is installed.

I believe all that's left is to borrow (or burn =/) a Windows XP Disc

And I will type what the BSoD said:
Code: [Select]A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

If this is the FIRST time you've SEEN this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any Windows updates you might need.

if problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to selected advanced startup options, and then select Safe Mode.

Technical Information:

*** STOP: 0x000000ED (0x8333EC60,0xC0000040,0x00000000,0x00000000)Can you check in the BIOS to see if your hard disk is still detected and that nothing changed the boot PRIORITY of devices?

Does your hard disk make any funny sounds while the system is trying to boot?I'm not sure how to do that...but I think it's all this stuff in the PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility screen I accessed when I pressed F2.
What it says is:

1: HDD HTS541080G9SA00-(S1)
2: FDD
3: CD/DVD MATSHITADVD-RAM UJ-841S-(S <- There
4: LAN
5: USB Memory

And no funny sounds. Other then the internal fan doing it's jobhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/555302
