Disk read error when installing new OS on S10-2

Hello all.
I`ve looked thru this forum and knowledge base, but couldn`t find an answer so I`m appealing to the Lenovo community.
I recently purchased a S10-2 netbook in Mexico. Unfortunetely it`s in Spanish and I need English.(I`m writing a computer book and I need screen captures in English.) I don`t have a phone to call tech support or an external CD drive. I`ve sucessfully setup a dual boot with Ubuntu via USB flash drive.  First I tried installing from a XP disk image (XP Pro and XP Home) using Power Iso, but when it rebooted, I received a disk read error. Then I tried extracting the installation files to the D-drive, rebooting to a command prompt, and installing directly. After going thru the initial setup screens, it went thru the motions of copying the installation files to the system, but when it rebooted, once again I received a disk read error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Garry

run disk check before installing anything, you may have dead bad sectors on your hard disk.
if it's possible, remove your hard disk and install it under other computers.

  • Disk read error when booting Windows 7 / White screen / Screen frozen

    Hello,
    I installed Windows 7 and Mac OSx on Dual boot.
    1) A problem arose when starting up. Sometimes the screen freezes after i have selected Windows 7 boot on BootCamp.
    2) Second problem, when booting the screen is white and doesn't change.
    3) Third problem, "Disk read error occured". This is the message that appears on the screen when booting Windows 7.
    4) Fourth problem, a blinking folder with a Question Mark on it.
    Please help with these problems.
    Thank you for your help.

    Windows insists that its Partition Map be set up the Windows way. No exceptions. If you use anything other than BOOT CAMP (or Open Source REFIt) to do the partition setup, it will not work.
    WARNING: If you allow Windows to Modify the partition Map directly, Windows will clobber Mac OS X so completely that will require a complete Mac OS X Re-Install. Windows in not a pleasant guest.
    Be certain you are using the correct version of BOOT CAMP to match Your Mac OS X, and check for which versions of Windows are supported under it.

  • Error when installing new font ?

    True type table is missing PCLT

    how can I solve this, I can use the font in my sapscript but it doesn't print my font but the 'if not available' font instead which is helvetica
    thanks already for vlauable input

    thats a bit confusing, it's a red message but it says warning
    I tried the other programm mentioned above but still I get the same warning.
    in the report it's clear that the font installed is not used in the output on the screen. I can add the font in my sapscript but the output is not the font specified.
    the font installed is Lucida sans EF which is part of the 'company' style but till now not yet implemented in SAP.
    oops it's working now, new learning moment for me. never look at preview on screen for the kind of font you want to see , thanks for the input and confirmation of the procedure

  • Error when installing new license key

    Hi, I am trying to install the license key for the Netweaver 7.01 Basis Test system with saplicense -install ifile=NSP.txt and am getting the following error message:
    SAPLICENSE (Release 701) ERROR ***
         ERROR: Can not set DbSl trace function
         DETAILS: DbSlControl(DBSL_CMD_IMP_FUNC_SET) failed with return code 20

                         DIR_LIBRARY = <path to db-dll> (e.g. usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run)
    Thanks for any help you can give.
    The original license expired and I cannot log into the system any more so I can't use SLICENSE.

    Hi,
    Have you got the SAP License key by providing its relative proper Hardware key ? if its required get a new SAP License key again with its relative hardware key at SAP Service Market Place, , and apply it again by login with sap* user in client.
    The variables DIR_LIBRARY & dbms_type are set correctly for the user Under which you are installing SAP license? 
    Have you tried the same activity with new Saplicense executable for 701 release ? Download new saplicense from SMP and try again.
    Also do this at last.... Set your system date back to a date when the sap license was valid.... then reStart the system, log on to SAP client, go to transactoin SLICENSE, apply the new license using license file, verify the license application & then log off, change system date back to current date, and re-start sap system. The same activity you can do at command level also.

  • File read errors when installing the oe schema.

    Hi,
    I'm new to Oracle and I've been playing around with the sample hr schema that came included with Oracle 11g XE (installed on a machine running Windows 7). I downloaded the oe schema off the otn website and I'm trying to install the sample database. I've pasted the errors I get in SQL Plus below.
    I'm assuming the 'unable to open *.sql' errors are because oracle is looking for them in a different directory. Those files are present in the same directory as oe_main.sql whose location I specify at the start. Should'nt this be enough?
    Thanks,

    Hi Aditya,
    I'm assuming the 'unable to open *.sql' errors are because oracle is looking for them in a different directory. Those files are present in the same directory as oe_main.sql whose location I specify at the start. Should'nt this be enough?No. The main-script calls the subscripts relative to the directory you started your sqlplus from. You should change to */demo/schema/oe*, start +@oe_main.sql+ there and the installation should finish without further issues.

  • Error when installing new iTunes, looking for administrator - but I am the administrator?

    error 2426 appears, saying please log on as admin.  I am the admin!

    Hi,
    Weird thing about outlook 2010 which I discovered is that it runs in less than an administrators permission. You have to right click on the icon and look inside to make it run as an administrator and you can make that permanent but it has some drawbacks. I assume that you are trying to delete or do something with the contacts that icloud couldn't sync. When you try to move them or delete them it says you don't have the permission. I ws working on another problem when I learned this by trial and error. Remember that Outlook can also run in safe mode by itself.
    Anyway I don't know if that will help.

  • Error 2324 when installing new version

    Got the following error when installing new version.
    The installer has encountered an unexpected error. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2324                   
    Also Tried to uninstall after this so I could install from scratch but that failed too. Now, iTunes is in a complete mess where I cannot use, uninstall or install.
    No idea what to do now.

    Greetings stain3565,
    If you are having an issue with installing an update for iTunes for Windows, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    If you can't install or update iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Disk read error while awakening from hibernatio​n

    T42 with Hitachi travelstar, Xp sp2. It takes a long time going into hibernation and then gives an disk read error when reatsrt from hibernation. It can then only restart the windows losing the previous working programs.
    This looks like a disk problem but the laptop works just fine other than that. Is it a problem with large files?
    Thanks in advance.

    It sounds as though your hard drive has failed or is failing.  If you can't get past the error and you want to try and recover the data and files that are recoverable, you'll need a boot CD such as BartPE or Knoppix that will allow you to access your hard drive and copy files before you try the recovery.  Another option would be to go ahead and purchase a replacement hard drive and an external USB enclosure.  Put the new drive in your system and recover it using the Toshiba disks and then put the old drive in the enclosure and plug it in to a USB port.  At that point, you can copy everything that is recoverable from the old drive to the new one.  For the new drive, you will need an ATA-5 compatible drive that is jumper selectable as 'Master'.  A cable select only drive will not work.  You could go to 120GB with no concern about compatibility and you could probably go up to 250GB but I'm not sure whether that system has 28-bit or 48-bit LBA.  If it's 28-bit your limit is 137GB.  I see 160 and 250GB drives advertised for the A25 series so I suspect you have 48-bit LBA.  In any case you should be able to find a 120GB drive for around $60.

  • Disk Read Error Woes

    Hello there! Ive been having some issues with my SSD boot drive as of lately :(
    From time to time, I receive a Disk Read Error when trying to boot into my computer...sometimes it happens after the computer crashes after working and then will not boot due to the Disk Read Error! However, the only time the computer will boot and bypass
    the error is when when I open my case and unplug and reseat my boot drive, only then is the problem resolved for a day or two (sometimes weeks!) before the computer runs into the error or crashes and then runs into the error, to which it is fixed by a reseat.
    The sata connection on the SSD seems to be solid (no wobbling or loose parts) so would the issue be the cable itself?

    Hello everyone! After looking at everyone's suggestions on how to deal with this issue, I have done the following....I have..
    1. Replaced both the SATA Power Cable AND SATA Data Cable leading to the SSD, as well as connecting the SSD to another SATA port on the motherboard
    2. Used Chkdsk (with the "/r" parameter, as well as doing a few read-only checks to find anything) and the tests come back negative for any issues
    3. Used Memtest +86 to check for RAM issues, to make sure that is not the issue
    4. Used a HDD diagnostic tool (HD Tune) to further check for more issues, and everything is clear...
    After doing all of the above, the computer ran fine without any Disc Read Errors for about a week before coming back yesterday, and just like before, the issue would go away as soon as I unplugged and replugged both the SATA Power and Data Cables :(
    After the latest Disc Read Error, I have
    1. Updated my Motherboard's BIOS
    2. Connected the SATA power cable to a different port on my Modular PSU
    and unfortunately, there is no firmware update available on my SSD, which is a KINGSTON SNV425S264GB, which is part of the discontinued Kingston SSDNow series...
    So, after doing the BIOS Update and modular PSU port switch, the SSD is running fine for about a few hours now....with all of this said, would the issue be solved with the BIOS Update, or would it be safe to say this SSD is on the way out? :(

  • SDD install and disk read error message

    I recently bought an HP Envy 17T 3200 Notebook. I wanted to upgrade the primary drive to an SSD. I bought a Sandisk Extreme brand new. I installed this in the primary bay. I used the recovery disks to restore the computer as I have done in the past with other HP laptops I've owned.
    It went through all five disks and seemed to recover fine. When the fifth disk was finished, I rebooted the computer after removing the disk and received an error message:
    "A disk read error occurred. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart".
    Thinking I had a bad drive, I bought an Intel 520 Series SSD. I replaced the Sandisk with the new Intel drive. I repeated the process above. I installed everything and actually booted into Windows for the first time. I shut the computer down temporarily. A few moments later, I rebooted and again had:
    "A disk read error occurred. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart".
    The odds of TWO SEPARATE SSDs being bad are remote. Something else is going on here. I ran diagnostics on the disks and they both passed with flying colors. For now, I have the original disk back in the primary bay and the computer is running fine.
    Has this happened to anyone? Do I have corrupt recovery disk files? What can I do?

    Hello
    I'm writing this response although its an old post, since a quick search on google told me that alot of people have similar issues to this.
    I will post my solution to the problem, hoping that it will help people who have this issue.
    Description of problem; Just as OP, i was upgrading my primary harddisk on my Envy 17 to an SSD, and when i put the disk in it would not accept it, stating "A disk read error occurred. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to restart".
    As the SATA cable was functioning fine with the old Harddisk, i ruled that out.
    Next thing i tested was wether the system would accept the harddisk if i pre-installed windows on it, before connecting it, this did not resolve the problem either.
    I also reset the BIOS, did nothing.
    Fustrated over this problem i acted on a hunch and disassembled the whole computer, cleaned it thoroughly and replaced the thermal paste on the heat sinks for the GPU and CPU. I also replaced the Fan on the cooling system (a simple cleaning may do the trick as well) Turned on the laptop with my new SSD in and voila, it accepted the disk and proceeded to start up windows.
    I have never encountered a computer that simply wouldnt read a disk due to overheating issues, But it fixed my problem, so i'm a happy camper
    Note that disassembling a laptop is an advanced job, if you are not comfortable doing it by yourself you should not attempt to do so.
    By the way. This may or may not fix the issue for you, as far as i can tell this error can be the symptom of alot of issues, but if you suspect that your laptop may be overheating, this might be the solution.

  • Error 322 when installing new router

    I encounter this error when installing my new router. It says that my new router is not detected or something. Actually, after step 4, its says : New router or gateway not detected.
    What should I do or check?  
    Thanks

    Hey first of all try resetting the router reset button in such a way that power
    light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power
    cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router &
    then plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are
    solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router & check out
    it will definately work!!
