Sometimes the fix is simple, sometimes it's a a disk read error occurred xp complete pain. Having recently dealt with this again, I thought I'd post my thoughts in the hopes that it helps someone else out there. So you receive the dreaded "a disk read error occurred. http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/disk-read-error-occurred-message-how-do-i-fix-this Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart".

Because this error is not usually associated with data loss, DO NOT RE-PARTITION THE DRIVE. Your data is likely safe and sound. Here's how we'll recover your data. Try each http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/250364-32-solution-disk-read-error-occurred step below, in order, and see if your drive becomes accessible after each step. In my experience, you won't start seeing results until step 5 or so. 1. Run CHKDSK /R /P from the recovery console (it will typically find no error) 2. run FIXBOOT from recovery console (typically has no result) 3. run FIXMBR from recovery console (typically has no result) 4. Run the manufacturer's diagnostic utility, downloaded from their website (it will typically find no error) 5. Changing the drives from cable select to Master/Slave may fix it. 6. Replacing the data cable may fix it, but usually not. 7. Setting the BIOS to use defaults may fix it, but usually not. 8.

And all of your data will still be accessible. Your computer should boot normally. If it doesn't, or it there are errors, ru
