My Dell 4700 has produced the blue screen stop error "unmountable boot volume". I cannot get it to restart at all. Dell is going to have a new hard drive installed but in the meantime I would like to be able to copy some of the data. Most was already backed up to a portable hard drive but some items of convenience would be good to have. I have read of the solution on the MS site that requires the Windows XP CD. The problem is that Dell did not provide me with an XP CD when I purchased the computer.

My question is; Is there any way to get this thing started back up without that CD?
