I have a crashed hard drive when booting reads; A disk read error
occurred, press ctrl+alt+del to restart. I have tried many different
things including making a cd boot disk "ERD Commander 2005" which was
told would fix the problem or at least enable me to copy over some
important files. After booting with the cd and arriving at the page
where you select the drive you want to fix and setting the time zone
etc. doesn't show any drives to choose from. Any suggestions where to
go from here? The hard drive is a western digital 4.3G and has win 2000
pro ntfs. Many thanks, David
If the data on that drive is important contact one of the data recovery
services such as www.ontrack.com or www.drivesavers.com. They are
expensive but good.
