I am desperate and very upset, I have this old Dell laptop which I only use to store my music via Itunes I'm not sure what happened but all I could get on the screen is "DISK READ ERROR OCCURRED PRESS CLTR+ALT+DEL TO START" all I care about are the songs on Itunes. How can I retrieve these songs with out costing hundreds of dollars. (which is what some computer repair places told me"
Please help retrieve my files

Do you have an IDE external HDD case yet? When you get it. It should have directions to open it up and you plug the IDE cable into your HDD, close your HDD case the plug it in and plug in USB to your computer.
Once there, goto Documents and Settings> (your username)> your desktop and to to the folder where your music is stored.

Yes. I can send you my WLM if you have that. I have every Instant Messanger but WLM is the one I use the most.
My WLM is [email protected]
