A Disk Read Error Occurred Press Ctrl+alt+del To Restart Windows 7
August 2010 18:20 in Windows XP Share abingdon 30 July 2009 06:10:44 I've spent about half the day a disk read error occurred xp building my new PC - a Windows XP Pro 64-bit box. I've installed the hardware and it is recognized by the BIOS on my Gigabyte PE45 UD3L motherboard. The next step http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/disk-read-error-occurred-message-how-do-i-fix-this 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 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 http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/240308-45-disk-read-error-occurred-install 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 BIOS. There are two hard drives in the PC, 320GB SATA Western Digitals. One of them has not been partitioned; the other was partitioned by the Win XP installation program. Any suggestions at this time are definitely welcome!

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.
