Windows 7 Disk Read Error On Boot
17 This post has been reported. Hi When I try and start up my Windows XP I get this message "Disk read windows xp disk read error error occurred press Ctl+Alt =Del to restart. Every time I restart I get the same message. Does anyone have any ideas about the steps I should take in an attempt to fix this problem. I have searched https://neosmart.net/wiki/a-disk-read-error-occurred/ the forums but am a bit lost about some of the suggestions. Any simply explained suugested solutions would be appreciated.

That would be as easy as it comes.
