"A disk read error occurred" After installing XP
Hello
About 3 hours ago I installed Windows XP x86 on an empty partition. Before the install my partitions were like this:
C: Windows7
D: Empty NTFS Partition
E: Backups Partition
I've installed XP many times before and I've never had this happen, but when the install finished, suddenly my Backups was C and my Windows 7 partition was E, making Windows 7 refuse to start. I tried to go into XP and switch them back to their original letters using "Computer Management" or something similar under "Administrative Tools", and to do that I had to make the Windows 7 one "active" and switch the letters, but it still wouldn't start.
The Windows 7 install disk will sometimes detect something is wrong, but it's tried to repair it 3 or 4 times now and still the same thing: "A disk read error occurred, press Ctrl Alt Del to restart".
Would anyone be able to help me out?
