A Disk Read Error Occurred Press Ctrl+alt+del To Restart Windows 7
2009 06:10:44 I've spent about half the day building my new PC - a Windows XP Pro 64-bit box. I've installed a disk read error occurred xp the hardware and it is recognized by the BIOS on my Gigabyte PE45 UD3L motherboard. The next step was to install the OS, a 64-bit version of Windows XP Pro. All went well until the http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/disk-read-error-occurred-message-how-do-i-fix-this 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 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 http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/240308-45-disk-read-error-occurred-install 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.

I recently formatted the hard drive and performed a clean install. It was working fine for about a month. Then I tried to connect the S-video port in the back to my tv. The computer said that it installed hardware after connecting the cable, but it needed to restart for it to function correctly. So I restarted and it loaded the BIOS and went to a black screen that said cannot read disc press ctrl+alt+del to restart. I press those, it restarts, loads BIOS, then back to the same screen. I removed the battery and removed the hard drive and reseated it. Still the same error. I tried booting from my Dell Windows XP disc that came with the laptop, but when I get to the screen that says press any key to boot from disc, i hear the disc spinning and then it says checking configuration, then just a black screen. I've waited 10 minutes and nothing happens. So here I am Hoping that there is some hope for it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I made sure to partition the hard drive upon installation of XP Home. Thank you everyone for the suggesti
