Re: A disk read error occurred; Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart

 

So I have this same problem but one other that is making things quite

difficult.

 

Upon attempted boot a disk read error occured eroo shows up and so i am

trying to boot a cd to get to the recovery console and i have a diff

utilities boot CD.

 

But when i try to boot from CD i have to select CD-rom from the boot

devices and then i get a single blinking underscore for maybe 15

seconds and then the disk read error pops back up.

 

Both these cds, aswell as test cds all boot fine on this computer but

on my laptop all i can get is disk read error.

 

any ideas?

 

P.s. i already checked the HDD connection.

Only that it would appear that you have a severe hardware problem on

your laptop. Take it to a pro.

If the connection is good then perhaps the drive is no longer

functioning properly and needs to be replaced. A good shop should be

able to test it out for you.
