A Disk Read Error Occurred
About six weeks ago (November 13), I bought a new computer.
The OS is Windows XP Home Edition SP3 The MB is an Intel Corporation DG35EC AAE29266-205. The BIOS is Intel Corp. ECG3510M.86A.0107.2008.0826.1637 08/26/2008 About ten days ago, when restoring the computer from hibernation, an error message appeared: "A Disk Read Error Occurred. Press CTRL ALT DEL to restart" This is now continuing. When I Google the above line, thousands of sites appear that have questions about that message, but none (that I can see) have any answers (well, I did not check all the thousands of sites, but several that looked promising). I'm reasoning that, because this message appears before the machine boots up, it does not have anything to do with installed programs. Just the same, I did restore to the earliest point I have (about three weeks ago). I seem to have the latest BIOS update, and anyway, I'm not fussy on flashing the BIOS unless I feel with cty that it will do some good. Any suggestions would be appreciated. If I have omitted any significant info, please ask. May the new year 2009 see you enjoying health and happiness! __________________________________ johnn __________________________________ "God is dead" - Nietzsche (1844-1935) "Nietzsche is dead" - God |
