When turning on the computer...I get a message that says "loading PBR descriptor 2...done, a disk read error has occurred, press ctrl+alt+del to restart". I did that and it looks like its going to load, then the same screen pops back up with the same error message repeatedly, this is for Windows XP, using a Dell Dimension 3000 PC. Can someone please help/advise?
