"Disk read error occurred" during startup
My Mother has Windows XP Home edition and while booting up
her computer, she recieved this message, "Disk read error occurred during startup". The boot up freezes while still in bios and instructs her to press c-a-del to reboot computer. However this cycle just repeates itself each time she tries to reboot the system. She can't get into safe mode or even boot to the xp cd-rom ( it says the same thing). Help!!????..... :-( Thanks, Bob Slay |

"Disk read error occurred" during startup
This is a long shot... although not uncommon....
Is there a floppy disk in the A: drive? Or a non-system CD in the CD-ROM? Good luck, -Lawrence in Seattle "Bob Slay" wrote in message ...

No The only disk that was put into the cd-rom drive was
Win XP Home. I was thinking that maybe the HD crashed and burned... -----Original Message----- This is a long shot... although not uncommon.... Is there a floppy disk in the A: drive?

"Disk read error occurred" during startup
Hi Bob,
Sadly, it might have..... I was just trying to test a simple (as well as painless, and free) solution. If you *do* boot with the XP Home CD, does it recognize the drive? (Make your it looks for CD-Rom before HD when booting) You may be able to do a Repait installation (not a RE-installation... but Repair). If the CD-ROM boot doesn't see the hard drive, than you may well have a goner. Very good luck to you, -Lawrence in Seattle "Bob Slay" wrote in message ...
