Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart Error Raymond Updated 4 years ago Windows 101 Comments When you have a problem while using your computer and you receive an error message during a crash, you're hoping the message will point toward the cause and then it can be appropriately rectified. This doesn't always happen though and the message can be rather generic and the fix isn't exactly a straightforward affair with a clear place to start troubleshooting.Unfortunately, there seems to be many errors you could encounter on your system that sound straightforward but lead to the same problem, the error message isn't accurate enough for you to make a clear decision about what to do next. A while back I had a problem with my computer, 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.
