Data Error Reading Drive C Started by DaBiz , Jul 14 2008 02:49 PM Please log in to reply 7 replies to this topic #1 DaBiz DaBiz Members 26 posts OFFLINE Local time:09:22 AM Posted 14 July 2008 - 02:49 PM Hi guys, We have a third computer in our house that is quite old, and that my parents basically just use for word processing. This computer runs Windows98 and is no longer is able to start up. When it is starting up, it starts like normal, and the cloudy blue Windows 98 logo come up for about 30seconds, then a dos screen comes up with a message reading "data error reading drive c" with options to retry, ignore, or fail. Like I say, this computer is quite old (probably about 12 years old). If I could get it up and working again that would be great, but if there is any way to recover files, my parents would be quite pleased with that as well. If you need any more information about the computer, please let me know, and I'll be happy to provide it. Thanks!

You had disk drive has suffered a read failure. the http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/173295-48-data-error-reading-drive problem might be slight or it might be significant - you need to get some hard disk drive diagnostic software from the www site of the hard disk drive manufacturer and run the diagnostics to get an idea of what the problem is and what options exist for repairing it. It could range from a displaced cable to a corroded connector to a failed drive. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Pinto1uk"
