Hi, over the last 3 days when I turn on my PC I get this message..
"A disk read error occurred. Press Ctl Alt Del to restart".
When I restart, I get the same message.
My warranty has expired & there is nothing in my CD drive when I turn on PC.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards

JohnM

Sounds like a failed hard drive.
