Hi,
I have a problem with a windows machine, which I don’t have the knowledge to fix.
It is an older 500+ MHz machine. I am using a legitimate copy of Windows XP Pro (purchased a couple months ago); on a Seagate Barracuda 7200.8, Mod #ST3250823A 250 G byte disc (also new some months ago).
When booting up the machine I get a ‘disk read error’. Instructs me to ?enter control>alt>delete?. Doing so restarts the computer and takes me back to the same place – ?enter control>alt>delete?. Keeps me going around in this circle.
I can physically remove the disc, plug in another disc under different operating system (Linux) and things work fine. So I don’t feel it’s a computer problem.
I am not a techie or programmer so any help anyone can give would be appreciated as I don’t want to lose the data by re-installing my Windows XP Pro.
Thanks,
Bob
