Default Unmountable boot volume PLEASE HELP

ok i have a slight old XP laptop, that despite being a bit slow i have had no real troubles with. Until now...
I recently turned it on to get a blue screen telling me i had unmountable boot volume and to uninstall any thing i had recently installed. It tle me to restart again propbably in safe mode. That is what i did and i just got the blue screen again. I have tried it in every possible way i can of starting my laptop and it simply WILL NOT get past the blue screen, i know whati need to uninstall, but is there anyway of geting past the blue screen?
thank you
