My laptop was working fine and I left the room, when I came back the screen
was black. I restarted it, and it came up with a black screen and an error
message:
"A read error has occurred
Press Ctrl Alt Delete to Restart"
Does anyone know what's wrong or how to fix it? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I need
this computer for my school work. Thank you to anyone who can help!
 
Try tapping F8 at next Startup and if you get a Menu select Safe Mode.
If it enters Safe Mode then try a System Restore.
Go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore. Just
follow the simple instructions.
 
thanks for the suggestion, but It didn't work...When I let it sit there for a
while it comes up with a message that says the operating system is not
found....
