After SP2 Update on Tablet PC Bluescreen

The error is: UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

I kept delaying installing SP2 specifically to avoid this sort of (sadly
typical) outcome.

Does anyone have any insight into how I can rescue my HD?


Thanks

This is not typical and may be indicative of a pre-existing problem.

Power off
Desktop:...Open the case and reseat the hard drive IDE ribbon cable at both
ends.
Laptop/Portables:... simply remove and reinsert the hard drive.
If that fails:

Otherwise go to the website of the hard drive manufacturer and download
their hard drive diagnostics.

Do you have a hard drive overlay such as Max Blast?
Windows XP sometimes has issues with overlay software.
You may need to perform a Clean Installation without their overlay software
which is not needed anyway.

Was the tablet ready for SP-2:
