Disk read error
« on: June 13, 2006, 08:08:09 AM »
My computer was on (I'd left the room). When I returned, it said that an "error" occurred, and that I should restart. But when I tried to restart, it said "disk read error, press cntl+alt+del to restart" and only gets to this point each time. When I tell it to boot in safe mode, it accepts the command, but then just goes to blackscreen and hangs up there. Any clues?

You may want to download and run the free diagnostics from the appropriate hard drive maker's site.

Have you tried running chkdsk on the drive?

What operating system is installed?
