Sometimes when booting I get the message "disk read error
press ctrl alt del to continue". This does not work and I
have to restart. I have tried changing the boot options
in the bios (Asus AV600) like changing the booting
sequence and enabling /disabling floppy boot seek. Does
anyone know why these start up problems should be
happening? Have also run chkdsk and don't seem to have
any viruses.
Thanks for any advice.
