Disk Read Error

Feb 19th, 2006

Hi, Im having a big prob on my cpu, yesterday i was downloading some files, and WAM my cpu restarts then before the windows XP pro loading page, an error pops up, it says

isk Read Error Occurred Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to restart? Tryed that but it keeps popping up, so now i cant even get into windows. Ive even tryed to reinstall windows, but when it goes to boot the windows disk, rhe screen goes black as if it freezes. Im not a computer wiz in no means, i know the basics of them, but thats about it. So im wondering is this a virus or my HD gone bad? If not, what? Ive checked all my cables and ram, everything is connected properly. Have made no changes in my hardware or OS in the past few months. I use the Cpu for gaming mainly, so i could afford to reformat [only if i could]. Id do anything at this point just to get it running again. So any suggestions at all, id GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks for the time

System Specs: Windows XP Pro SP2, 1536MBram, P4 2.8ghz
