Friend has an XP machine that is giving him the following error message
when
he tries to boot up...

"disk read error occured, depress ctrl, alt, del to start"

Of course when he hits ctrl, alt, del, it does the same thing again.

Anyone got a cure? I am going to his house in the morning.




The HD has probably failed.

Go the the website of the mfg of the drive
and get the diagnostic utility to confirm
