A Disk Read Error Occurred Win Xp
I've spent about half the day building my new PC - a Windows XP Pro 64-bit box. I've installed the hardware and it is recognized windows xp a disk read error occurred press ctrl+alt+del to restart by the BIOS on my Gigabyte PE45 UD3L motherboard. The next step was to install the OS, a 64-bit version of Windows XP Pro. All went well until the installation program prompted me to reboot. I received the message: "A disk disk read error occurred vista read error occurred. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart." I've done this four or five times now, with and without the installation CD loaded. If the CD is loaded, the installation program tries to copy the files to the hard drive all over again. I went along with this once, thinking maybe the first time some driver had been corrupted. I have also changed the boot order in the BIOS, with first boot to the HD. I have reset the Fail-Safe Defaults in the

Check the see if it's scratched. Try wiping the disc off with a soft cloth and use some duster to blow out your optical drive. If that doesn't work and it's a copied disc, it probably was a bad copy.

I was getting tired of running Windows Vista on my computer mostly because it was dreadfully slow and it was a resource hog. Despite all the performance tweaks I did to Vista all my games ran slow and after I installed Internet Explorer 8 my computer slowed down to a crawl. I got fed up with my slow Vista system and decided that I would back up all my data and perform a fresh install of Windows XP Pro. I booted from the Windows XP CD and deleted and created a new partition. After that Windows formatted the harddrive and copied the Windows files.
