The disk shows up during the BIOS portion of the boot. It is in a Dell Precision 690 so the F12 key gives me a boot menu. I can boot from the utility partition, and if I specifically select the hard http://superuser.com/questions/210161/how-to-diagnose-a-disk-error-press-any-key-to-restart-after-blue-screen-in-xp drive from the boot menu it will boot fine. Any ideas why if I just try to do an unattended boot, it give this error?

Obviously BIOS settings aren't something you change on a regular basis and I'm not saying this is related to the BSOD. Simple facts, I have a BSOD, it won't reboot, I get the disk error listed in the quesion, I change a setting in the BIOS and it boots fine. Problems are that in the first place I'm not sure what the setting actually does or why it fixed the problem, and second I don't know if it will introduce new problems. Setting in question was changing "SATA Operation" from AHCI to ATA. Any comments? share|improve this answer answered Nov 15 '10 at 13:49 Dennis 4,1331527 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote Try changing disk pre-delay in bios to a longer time...it has been an issue for me before but

Hi Found the original Windows XP installation disk, turned the PC on, inserted the CD a number of times but all I get is the same message "Disk read error occurred press Ctl+Alt =Del to restart" Tried rebooting, installing CD, but only get the same message. Any other ideas would be appreciated. Reports: · Posted 4 years ago Top vistamike Posts: 10945 This post has been reported. When you boot, do you see an option to get into BIOS? (F2) Change the 1st boot device to CD/DVD Another option is to tap F12 on boot and change the boot order to CD/DVD Mike Reports: · Posted 4 years ago Top whs Posts: 17584 This post has been reported. Yeah, Mike is right. You forgot to change the boot order. Reports: · Posted 4 years ago Top stander2 Posts: 17
