Unusual Disk Read Error!?

Question by Curious: Unusual Disk Read Error!?
My Computer says a “Disk Read Error Occoured. Press Ctrl, Alt and Delete restart”?

When I do that it comes back to the same screne. I was able to open up my computer, physically. (Take the stop off). Here are the detailes of my problem.

Please note the following:

*I CANNOT restart in safe mode-it doesn’t get that far.

*F8, F4, F2, F5 does not work!

*I cannot run a disk scan-it doesn’t get that fare either.

All I can do is press delete and get into setup. NOT advanced set up, just set up, and I am am taken AMIBIOS Simple Set up Utility Version 1.21.10. The Options available are

*Standard CMOS Set up
*Advance Set (NOT normal advance set up of Windows XP)
*Power Management Set up
*PCI/Plug and Play Set up
*Features Set up
*CPU PNT Set up

That’s all!

–All of my floppy and CD drives are empy. I am sure of it.

Now, with thoes factors in mind, can someone help me pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!?

Hello:

Is your PC still under warranty? If so, I would call them before attempting to take it apart. After that, the first thing I would do is unplug the computer completely. Next I would open it up again (if you closed the case back up). Then I would unplug the data and power cables from your hard disk and plug them back in. Use caution so you plug them back in the way they initially were plugged in.

Then reassemble it, plug it back in and try booting again. If that does not solve the problem, then contacting tech support for your PC might be the way to go. Sometimes the data cable connectors become intermittent, making odd problems occur.

There are some good troubleshooting guides out there as well.

Hope this helps!

Cheers!
