Have you made any changes before the blue screen appear? installing a driver maybe? if you have,try to undone those changes by booting with Startup with last known good configuration (undo recent registry and driver change),use System Restore,or Roll Back device driver,Scan your computer for viruses
and Return BIOS settings to their default levels,go to BIOS by pressing F2 or del exactly after you press the power button and the screen show up
if it still in blue screen,that's probably that some of your system file is missing,and you need to reinstall your operating system
Please let me know if it's working or not,i don't like to abandon anyone,and thanks for using fixya

This error comes due to 1. RAM problem or 2.Hard disk problem or 3.Software/device driver problem or some times 4.Virus problem.
First you run the system in safe mode (pressing F8 at booting) - restore the system (start-programs - accessories - system tools - system restore). PC will be restarted and if it runs well then fine. If not again run in safe mode- uninstall few softwares or utilities, clear the temporary files, few drivers - restart the PC it may run well. If it does not run in safe mode the problem may be due to virus or critical RAM problem (main suspects, as the error may be for different reason).
Now you format the hard disk and install your applications and drivers one by one and restart and check whether the problem repeats. Failure with the step you should change the RAM. With all failures - motherboard should be repaired and you have to give to the service center.

Hi there, This error can either be caused by a
problem with an IDE cable or the BIOS in which case you just replace the
cable or reload the fail-safe default settings in the BIOS. However,
most of the time this error is caused by some sort of problem with the
volume. To fix this problem you will need:

0x000000ED
http://www.faultwire.com/solutions-fatal_error/UNMOUNTABLE-BOOT-VOLUME-0x000000ED-*1236.html
Have you been able to gain access to the Setup/Settings (BIOS/CMOS) as you boot?
If not you are spinning your wheels as the I/O issue is below the operating system level.
If you can get in regularly then the problem might be repairable. Intermittent access to
the BIOS is just further proof that the system has serious hardware issues.
Frankly if you can access the system at all I would backup the data off the main drive
and preferably using several techniques for redundancy off the computer entirely. Then
I would format the drive and re-install Windows to do as much as possible to remove the
I/O issue from being software related. However, doing this is not likely have a high success
rate.
-------------------------------------------------
0x000000ED is a very serious I/O Error :
The UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME bug check has a value of 0x000000ED. This indicates
that the I/O subsystem attempted to mount the boot volume and it failed.
There is a possibility that the root cause could be a loose or defective contacts or cabling
though that too only holds an outside chance.
Another possibility is readdressing or updating your BIOS however doing that on an unstable
machine has very real additional risks and should be done by technical support in this case.
