Whenever I try to load windows it hangs up, no matter how I try to load it, and says UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME.

The computer that is having these problems is a toshiba, but I don't have a toshiba recovery disk. I do have a dell disk, and I want to perform a repair, so can I do the repair using my dell disk?

If you can't do that, find out what kind of hard disk is installed (brand) and go the manufacturers site and make a boot disk with their recovery tools. Try to repair with that, if you don't you'll have to reformat.

But I'm asking if it is safe to use the dell disk?

Umm... I'm gonna go out on a limb and say your Dell disk will refuse to cooperate. Mind you if it does (pigs fly), it would be a naughty bad thing to do, as it would more than likely violate the OEM license on the Dell XP installer... Not to mention, the Dell OEM is designed for...well, a Dell and not a Toshiba and may also load conflicting drivers along with the OS...which you shouldn't do cause of the licensing thing... :)

I fixed the computer with the Dell disk. I was telling you guys that I didn't want to install windows off of it. I just wanted to make it to the repair module, and it worked.
