Hi all,
Haven't been here for a while, but I'm now without a working laptop.
Bit annoying as this seems to be the 2nd HDD related problem since I bought it back in may 2011. I've never had any HDD related problem before in any other laptop/desktop I've owned.
This morning I've started up the laptop, only to get a black screen showing 'A Disk Read Error Ocurred - Press CTRL-ALT-DLT to reboot'.
So far I've made very little progress to remedy this. I'm currently booting from the Windows disc and attempting to re-install Windows, it's turning out to be a very slow process (in excess of 1hr and it's only just got to 'Copying Windows Files'... Still at 0% too!
Does anyone else have experience with this? Also if there are any PCS Mods lurking about (taking into account I only had the silver warranty), what can PCS do about this? If it seems to be a re-occurring problem surely I shouldn't have to pay out to fix this??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
