Disk Read Error Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart

[Guest]

Hi, my motherboard and processor both bit the dust recently and I got a
replacement processor and I bought a new motherboard as well as a new
videocard. When I try to boot the computer, I get a message saying "Disk
Read Error Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart". I know there is NOTHING wrong
with either of my HDs. I've ran CHKDSK /R on both and it did find and fix
minor errors but it still has the error. I used my Win XP pro CD to fix the
boot sector with no results. Any ideas?

My specs are;
P4 1.7GHz
Asus P4S800 Motherboard with SIS 648FX chipset
ATI Radeon 9600SE video card
512MB PC2100 DDR
15GB Quantum Fireball HD 5400RPM NTFS file system
60GB IBM/Hitachi Deskstar HD 7200RPM NTFS file system
Windows XP Pro SP2 installed on 15GB HD

From what you said I think that WinXP is looking for all the devices
from the old motherboard. You may want to
try a Repair Install of WinXP. Check here
