My laptop has a disc read error.

Is there anyway to fix it easily, and will i have to take it somewhere to get it fix and i'll pay?

1Click "Start" or the Windows logo on your lap top. In the Start menu, click "Computer." You may also go to "My Computer" to access your drives.
2Right click the drive (C, E etc.) that has the disk error. A pop-up window will appear. Select "Properties."
3Click the "Tools" tab. Locate the "Error-checking" section and click the "Check Now" button. Click the check boxes for "Automatically Fix File System Errors" and "Scan For and Attempt Recovery of Bad Sectors."
4Click "Start" or the Windows logo on your laptop. Allow Windows to diagnose and fix the disk errors. Windows will give you status-update messages during the process and report when it's completed the repairs.
 You most restart your PC.It may take several hours to complete!

  • Disc Read Error Ctr + alt + Delete

    When I booted up my computer today with a black screen it says Disc Read Errir Ctr + alt + Delete. I restart it as it asks only to end up back at the same screen shortly after. Is something wrong with the Hardware of my computer? I unplugged any USB devices and made sure there was no disc in my disc tray. Help would be appreciated.

    A Disc read error is normally an indication of a hard disk failure that requires replacement of the hard disk with a new one. 
    I recommend that you purchase a recovery usb media thumbdrive from HP to restore your PC's operating system to its former useful state when you replace the hard disk. You will need a desktop SATA hard disk of no larger than 2.2 Terabytes. The storage capacity of the original hard disk was 750 GB. That capacity is no longer that easy to find at stores or online websites. 
    You should have made a recovery disk set or usb recovery media four years ago when you setup the PC. The initial setup software for the PC did ask whoever first turned it on if they were ready to make a recovery disk set.

  • 32bit to win7-64bit MS-7032 K8M disc read error

    MS-7032 K8M Ver.1
    AMIBIOS A7032VMS V3.3 10/13/04
    VIA VT8237 chipset (Rhine II)
    AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 2GHz processor
    2GB RAM
    PNY Verto GeForce 7600GS AGP Version 5.73.22.33.51 512MB RAM
    I had XP-32 bit SP3 installed, very slow with sound and mouse skips.
    I want to upgrade to Win 7 Pro-64 bit (purchased download with valid key).  DVD was burned using instructions with download, BIOS set to boot from CD/DVD.  Upon inserting DVD get the following:
    "Searching for Boot Record from DC/DVD-0..OK
    CDBOOT:  Cannot boot from CD - Code:  5
    NTLDR is missing
    Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart"
    I re-burned the DVD multiple times, and "tech support" verified the DVD is valid.  Get the same error every time.  Do not see any option to boot from USB in advanced BIOS tab.
    Finally decided to install Win 7-32 bit, then try to go to 64 bit from there.  Downloaded and started setup from .iso file extract.  Win 7-32 bit installed fine.  Win 7 32 bit that I'm running now was installed from within running XP 32, did not boot from DVD.
    I still want to go to 64 bit.
    At tech support advice, I created a bootable USB from Windows 7 DVD/USB Download Tool.  Copied the bootsect.exe file from 32 bit .iso to Win 7 DVD Tool location, coupled with 64 bit .iso file and ran the Tool; got "bootable USB successfully created". 
    Again no USB option listed in BIOS.  Restarted computer with USB drive installed, nothing happened, Windows booted as normal.
    Burned new DVD with Win 7 DVD Tool, again 32 bit bootsect.exe and 64 bit .iso file, BIOS to boot from DVD first.  Tool indicated bootable DVD successfully created.  Could not boot from DVD again.  Tech support totally confused.  I did many internet searches, and found that some MSI and ASUS mobo's are having problems loading the boot record from Windows 7.  At least one page told me to update BIOS; software tech support also suggested this.
    Then I joined this forum and searched all over for similar problems.  Found one thread that talked about USB Legacy and was told to turn that on.  Went home at lunch and turned on Legacy USB, went to BIOS still no USB boot option, but plugged in USB drive (with 32 bit bootsect and 64 bit iso successfully created from DVD/USB Tool, mentioned above), and restarted, hit F11 to see boot menu and Sandisk USB drive was recognized as a boot source.  I selected it and got the following:
    "Searching for Boot Record from USB RMD-FDD..OK
    A disk read error occured
    Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart.
    At this point it appears as though if I have a USB drive inserted when I boot the computer, and hit F11, the BIOS will recognize that the USB is a boot option.
    Do I need to update BIOS to be able to run Win 7 x64?  Looking at the available BIOS on the MSI Global - Mainboard K8M-Neo-V website there's not even a 3.3 listed so not understanding where my BIOS came from.  I'm nervous about updating BIOS, as the page warns you, if your computer's running, don't update.
    I'm having some difficulty understanding exactly how to do a BIOS update, and am worried that if I do something wrong, I'm screwed.  Do I have to update BIOS to 3.7 first, then to 7.0?  Do I do this with the USB utility they're saying to use, or the USB tool on this forum?
    Do I just need to update drivers?  Can I do that with the MSI live update?  Or do I have to update BIOS to use live update?
    Please help, any advice is appreciated.  I'll gladly find out whatever information about my system you need, and post it here.

  • Disc Read Error, Keyboard unresponsive

    After attempting to install Windows XP I have gotten the seemingly common Disc Error. The larger problem is that my wireless keyboard is unresponsive so I can not "Press any key to restart" or hold option to boot. I have even gone the length of purchasing an Apple Wired keyboard and I still can not get it to work. The system was purchased new about 6 months ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I had problems installing Windows XP before but after unplugging extra stuff from USB & Firewire ports like external harddisks and printer the installation worked.
    What kind of mac do you have if my suggestion don´t work.. by holding down the power button usually works to get computer to reboot. And then by pressing down the "Option" - key button you get to choose OS. Hope this is a answer.

  • Disk read error screwed up my whole computer

    I tried installing Windows XP and while it was installing, it encountered a disc read error. Now I can't do anything on my Macbook and it's all incredibly screwed up. Has anyone had any problem like this and can help me resolve my issues?

    Welcome to the Apple forums.
    You need to supply more details other than "incredibly screwed up" in order to diagnose the problem.
    Can you boot into Leopard by holding down the Option key on boot and selecting it?
    Can you boot into the Leopard DVD?
    Is the Winders CD stuck in your computer?

  • 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? :(

    Your content will only be where you put it.  It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
    You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
    You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
    You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer.  You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.

  • Error message- "LR has encountered problems reading this photo" after installing LR 5.6 on new computer and retrieving all contents from old HD from external HD.

    Hi-
    I got a new PC laptop, retrieved all old HD contents from my external HD, installed LR 5.6 (5.4 on previous PC) and when I tried to open up my old Lightroom catalog it has an error saying "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo.  You will not be able to make adjustments to this photo".  I tried to open the catalog straight from my external HD with the same error message. I've read about four billion forum threads to try to figure it out- files do not seem to be missing as most threads indicate.  The other threads suggest there is a corruption with the file, but I don't THINK that is the case.  Are there any other suggestions?   If the file is corrupted, how do I find out for sure?  Have I lost all my edits?? 
    Thanks for your help and time!

  • "A Disk Read Error Has Occured" past 239 FSB?

    The title says it all.  I'm runnin an Neo Platinum 2 and when booting up overclocked past 239 FSB I get "A Disk Read Error Has Occured" and it asks me to reboot.  Is this as simple as my SATA being overclocked too far?  I was under the impression this board had an SATA lock, but I could be wrong.  Any suggestions on getting past this?  Or have I reached my peak?

    oh and if you use a creative cloud version of Lightroom it could also be that the logon to the cloud is messed up. Logging out and logging back in from preferences in the creative cloud app will fix that. Due to the release of Lightroom CC it appears that adobe's servers have been overwhelmed a bit And many people have strange problems that are solved by logging out and back in.
