Hi
I am getting a "disk read error" on my desktop pc. After several attampts to reboot with the same message i tried to boot from the cd to repair / reinstall XP. Same result.
Checked all connectons inside tried all the permutations of connecting, removing and changing power and ribbon cables and drives. Same again.
I have 2 x ide drives (master / slave port 1) and 2x optical (master / slave port 2).
I find it strange that i get the same result when i tried the cd drive as its on a different port / cable.
I thought it might be a controller on the mobo so i changed it (using my athlon cpu, memory and agp card but still the same result.
Advice appreciated.
Gary
