going to us Hiren's when I get home, but I was curious your opinion.I know the coworker was on MySpace, and my brother's fiancé got a trojan from MySpace last week on MY PC! Thanks!!! 6 answers Last reply Feb 8, 2008 More about trojan causing disc read error rforceFeb 7, 2008, 8:18 PM My professional opinion is that the Disc Read Error is just a disk read error occurred press ctrl+alt+del to restart what it is, a read error. That implies that the file being accessed is not responding in a reasonable amount of time.If the data on the drive is critical, don't turn it on any more.Based on the situation above, the drive could be in the process of having a head crash. The sooner that it is evaluated by a professional data recovery lab, the better the chances of recovering the data at a lower price. If the free price quote is too high, you are able to seek other options. If the drive is deemed unrecoverable by the professionals, you benefit by not wasting any of your time.If the value of the data is not $300 or more, you can always try connecting the drive as a slave in another system and attempt to backup the data. If the system doesn't detect the drive or you run into any problems, you will need to seek professional support.Good luck! sailerFeb 7, 2008, 8:30 PM This is why good anti-virus programs are needed. MySpace seems to get them a fair amount. Anyway, this sounds more like a combination of viruses. Likely a bug got in
