I am a new player here, so excuse me if i make a mess of this. I have a Sony Vaiol laptop and am running vista. I haven't used it for a lot other than internet, so data etc.is limited and space is good.
my problem started suddenly when i turned on pc and a black screen with the error message,"disk read error, press cntrl+alt+del to continuie."
didnt do it! Wouldnt do anyuthing.
Finally, I acquired legal sony recovery disks. And when the screen to choose operating system comes up, there is none so it says apply drivers and im lost, I have no familiarity with hard disk drivers so....but did bring up command prompt in recovery and through luck and lil else, i happened on chkdsk and found it to all check out but it does say NTFS not fat 32, but found no problems. Now Im dumb completely!!! Help if you can.
