Nimic Guest "A disk read error occurred, press ctrl+alt+del to restart" « on: February 21, 2010, 05:48:28 AM » "A disk read error occurred, press ctrl+alt+del to restart"That's the message I get every time I try to turn on my computer. Or, at least it's the one that happens every time I turn it on after it's been off for a while (ie. in the morning). It seems the only thing I can do is to restart it until Windows loads, which it always does eventually. It can take a couple of tries, or it can take 8. I just don't understand what it is. I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, as well as put in a new hard-drive, (Samsung SpinPoint F2 EG SATA2 1.5TB). The error has occurred ever since. On three separate occasions I've thought I might have fixed it, since after all three the next time it loaded on the first try (though that might just be because the next time I booted my computer was on the same day, after I had rebooted my computer to fix the very problem).The first time I figured it might just be a physical configuration issue. I unplugged my DVD drive and my old ATA hard-drive (which is completely empty at this point anyway), and rechecked the cables on my new 1.5TB and my old 500GB SATA (where my Windows 7 partition is). I've since plugged both of those back in. The second time I did some googling, and it seemed it might have to do with the BIOS. Now, I've never updated the BIOS in the two and a half years since I got a new mainboard (partly because I don't have a floppy drive anymore). I used MSI's in-windows BIOS flash service, and again on the next reboot it worked, but not after that.Then finally I took a good look at the BIOS, and noticed that the 1st device in the boot sequence was the floppy drive. Which doesn't exist. So I changed that to the DVD drive (and later the Windows HD).After all of these (which might or might not have had anything to do with the actual problem), it still has t
