Everything was working fine up until a few weeks ago. I noticed that it had suddenly become a lot slower. I didn’t use my laptop for about a day and https://www.raymond.cc/blog/help-a-disk-read-error-occurred-press-ctrlaltdelete-to-restart/ a half, because I was busy with other things, and when I turned it on, the screen went almost immediately black and two white phrases turned up on the screen: “A disk read error occurred” “Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart” I pressed ctrl+alt+del a few times, but absolutely nothing happened. The same text appeared again. So the only way I could turn my computer off is by pressing the power button (the one you use to turn on the computer). What I noticed is that the computer immediately turned off. http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/136860-serious-problem-disk-read-error-occurred.html Like, the second I pressed it. From my limited experience with computers it takes quite a few seconds to turn off a computer that way. Anyway, I need help. I can’t access anything on my laptop and I have about 550GB of files on there and no back-up. I always keep back-ups but my brother had to borrow my external hard disk drive, so I copied all the files on to my laptop. Needless to say that the timing couldn’t have been worse. I’ve been googling this problem to find a solution that works with my laptop, but so far I haven’t had any luck. So can you guys help a newbie? Any help is very much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Forum. Can you enter your BIOS? Usually press F2 at boot to do so. You want to check in the settings to see if the hard drive is recognized by the BIOS. Don't make any changes at this time and "Discard Changes and Exit" when you are done. Let us know. Also, check to be sure there is no disk in the optical drive.
