attempted to read. This data might be missing or corrupted. User Action:
Retry the operation; Clean the physical hard drive?(defrag?) Use newer Media?

What were you doing when you got this error message?

I have seen this with a defective CD/DVD drive and with defective media. Try
a different disk. Do the exact same thing you were doing when you got the
error message. Does it still occur?

Hi,

Reseat or replace the cable connecting it to the motherboard (both ends).

trying.

Rick, we reseated the cable to the motherboard. I have rechecked the System
View and the errors are gone. Thanks to everyone!!
