A while back I had a problem with my computer, a disk read error occurred windows 7 and after some odd things happening such as a CD-R failing a burn and the computer starting to respond very slow, I decided to shut it down and leave it for a while. When I booted it up the next day, I got the error message:A disk read error occurred. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart.However, the BIOS detected the hard drive just fine. After an exhaustive search around the Internet and forums, no one had the exact fix for this problem a disk read error occurred press ctrl+alt+del to restart and there doesn't seem to be one fix to try in preference to any others.What makes this even worse is there are so many different ways to attempt to fix this error, it could take days to get through them all. And to make matters worse, a disk read error might not actually mean there's a problem with the hard drive itself! Also there seems to be just as many software causes as hardware causes.Listed below are some of the possible solutions we came across to fix the "A disk read error occurred. Press ctrl+alt+delete to restart" problem.1. Test the MemoryThis isn't actually mentioned that much around the web as a solution to the disk read error problem, but believe it or not, this was my problem. I used a tool called Memtest86+ and ran tests on my RAM, and indeed there were problems. After experimenting between different sticks and RAM slots I eventually deduced my RAM slot 2 was damaged because the sticks worked fine in the other slots.As this is a simple and non destructive test meaning you're not touching the hard drive risking further damage, it is recommended you try this first. It may sound odd but in fact memory problems can be responsible for a vast array of different errors on a system where testing your RAM might be the last thing you think of.2.

Hi, FYI. Motherboard is Abit NF7-S v2.0 with Sil 3112 SATA150 controller. Hard drive is an Hitachi 160Gb SATA. My Dad's computer has been having some disk read problems with USB devices not working. Like ipod Nano and a bluetooth usb adaptor. The only thing I could think of was changing the bios from an unofficial modded bios back to an official Abit bios. I downloaded the bios and flashed it, within windows, using the Abit flashing utility. It flashed fine but when the system reboots I'm getting a "Disk read error, press ctrl alt del to disk read error restart system". Since then, I have tried 3 different offical Abit Bios. I flashed these using a bootable CD. I have also tried the Windows XP repair/recovery utility included on the XP installation CD. I have scanned the disk for errors using windows recovery. No errors. I have also written a new boot sector but to no avail. There are some other options that windows recovery has but I'm unsure of what these actually do. Can anyone help at all?
