I was trying to figure why my function keys weren't working, so all i did was enter my BIOS and go under CONFIG and went to KEYBOARD. Here i enabled the Fn keys and went to start up windows and all i get now is a blue screen that says UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME ahh. I look this up on the internet and it says to insert the xp cd and press R. I did this. Now it says to type in chkdsk/r. This doesn't work. So I type in chkdsk and it says " volume appears to be in good condition and was not checked. Use /p if you want to check the volume anyway" I type this in and it doesn't work ahhh!!!!!!!!!! Tell me what to do!!!!! I Just bought this t40 for school and it was working fine until i changed the FN keys

Seriously corrupted or bad hard disk drive

To determine if this is the case it is recommended you run the Windows XP setup, delete all partitions, recreate the partitions, format the hard disk drive, and reinstall Windows XP.
If errors are encountered during the creation of the partitions or the format process it is likely that the hard disk drive is bad and it should be replaced.
