Default A Disk Read Error Occurred

Go to www.intel,com click on work, support, key in you board ID (DG35EC)
and go from there.
Flashing your BIOS is very simple and safe. You download the update which is
written to a floppy.
Then you boot up with the floppy inserted and the BIOS will be updated.
Of course you save the floppy. The BIOS is a small module of memory mounted
on the mother board.
The memory is kept (not lost) by a small battery on the board
If you believe it to be a BIOS problem, can you call the manufacturer tech
support and ask for guidance?
I.E. any setting affecting coming out of migration..

Be aware, Intel indicates there is a latter BIOS update for your board.

Where? I couldn't find it.

Further tests I am currently doing seem to indicate there may be a problem
with the BIOS

Even though I'm a bit apprehensive to do it, perhasps I'll flash the BIOS
with the newer version.
(I did it once before - successfully - on another computer.)
BTW: If I screw up totally on flashing the BIOS, I understand that my
computer is then only useful
as an anchor.
Is that true, or can some part be replaced?
I think I understand that the BIOS is software, but in which piece of
hardware is it located?

Thanks for your insight!
