Yesterday my brothers old hd crashe so we bought a new one, plugged it in and installed windows on it. No problems so far windows started up fine and I logged into the microsoft update site, then I had to install some sort of updates to be able to run the site. I did that and after that I had to reboot the computer. But when windows started up again I got this evil Bluescreen of death :

UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

***Stop 0x000000ED (0X81F4E900,0XC00014F,0X00000000,0X00000000)


Microsoft has some sort of fix for this, but then I have to download a file from the update page, that I need to install a program to use and then reboot, and after that I can't get past this problem, so I basically can't download the file.

Anyone got a smart way to fix this?
 
Try setting a slower UDMA access mode in the BIOS. Also running a chkdsk wont hurt, you can boot from the windows cd and run it from the recovery console if necessary.
 
One thing to try is loading the defaults in the bios and make sure the drive cable is an 80wire not 40wire type. When running chkdsk add the "/r" switch to the end of the command. Generally the "Fixboot" or "Fixmbr" command is tried first at the recovery console or a simple startup with an old 98-ME boot floppy for the "fdisk /mbr" command is used.
