A disk read error occurred
My family has a problem with their computer.
When the computer starts up it does the memory test then bleeps once then instead of windows xp loading it displays the message: "a disk read error occurred press ctrl+alt+del to restart.
The computer is just over seven years old and im thinking this might mean a corrupt hard drive.
I know a pc tech who has taken a look at it and advised my sister to run scan disk but apparently this did not fix the problem.
He recommended as it is an old pc just to sell it on ebay which i am thinking of doing you people are my last result.
EDIT: As the computer is old and due to my lack of hardware knowledge i do not want to swap hardware components or replace the hardware.
But i do want to find out what is causing this problem.
Lots of information on this error on google but i cannot find a solution.
