Brand new computer - Disc read Error
Hi all, I have searched and found several threads relating to this but none seemed the same so bear with me if I'm inadvertently repeating myself.
I bought a new computer about 2 weeks ago (Windows 7 32 bit Home Edition) and the other night I left a USB key drive plugged in when I shut down the machine. The next day on boot up I get a "disc read error has occured - Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to Restart" error message. Even though the USB drive has been removed this error message appears and restarting just brings up the same message. However if I press F8 before this error appears I get into a boot menu and if I select the main boot drive the machine boots normally. Any ideas as to whats wrong and any suggestions as to what I can do to repair it would be greatly appreciated
