Bad disk, compatability issue, or doing something wrong? More a disk read error occurred xp details inside. I have a Dell Latitude D400 laptop which is about five years old and works well. My old hard drive went a disk error occurred press ctrl+alt+del to restart belly-up (terrible clicking noise, and no machine could read it), so I purchased a replacement. Being an older computer, my laptop uses what I believe is now generally referred to as a Parallel ATA (PATA) connector (as shown http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f16/error-a-disk-read-error-occurred-on-brand-new-hard-drive-110828.html on the right side here). A cover is placed over the pins before connecting it to the computer. I chose the largest PATA drive I could find, which on NewEgg is described as using an ATA-6 connector. (My understanding is that ATA-6 is a part of the PATA family.) I placed the disk in my system and began trying to install Windows XP Pro. The Windows installation CD recognized the drive, formatted it, and apparently copied http://ask.metafilter.com/127224/Disk-Read-Error-Occurred-With-BrandNew-Hard-Drive some install files to the drive. (I have used the same install CD without any problems before.) However, as the installation proceeded, Windows apparently rebooted, and the system could no longer recognize the drive. That's when I got the dreaded "Disk Read Error Occurred - Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to Restart" message. That's all the message says - nothing more. And pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del accomplishes nothing... you just get the same error again. To isolate the error, I tried three things: 1) I placed the hard drive in a six-year-old Dell Latitude D600 (which also works well, and also uses a PATA connector) but got the same error. 2) I put the drive back in the D400, and, using an Ubuntu Live CD (9.03), my computer was able to recognize the drive. I was even able to partition it and install Ubuntu on it. However, upon restarting, the computer was still unable to recognize the drive. I got some Linux-y error message (I failed to write it down), not the Ctrl+Alt+Del message, but it didn't make any difference - the boot process would not continue, even upon a restart. 3) I also tried putting the drive in a USB enclosure and connected it to the D600. That worked fine - the computer was able to recognize the drive that way, and I could even manipulate files on it. The
