Hi Everyone,
I'm running a Compaq Evo N1015v notebook.
On starting my machine this morning, I was almost instantly shown an error
message as follows:-
"A disk read error occurred
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart"
This happened once before and my only solution at that time was to use the
system restore disks as supplied by Compaq, losing all my data. I'm
determined not to do that this time as I've now got my machine just as I
want it.
I'm running Windows XP Pro as installed by the Compaq restore disks, with
all the latest MS updates added. Compaq supplied a Win XP Pro disk and I've
tried a repair from it but it boots to a checking your hardware message then
just hangs.
Anyone got any ideas how to recover from this?
Thanks in advance
