"A Disc Read Error Has occurred" during Startup - Dell laptop
I dont know if this is the right thread, but here goes.
I try to start my Dell Inspiron 5010 laptop and I get "A disk read error occurred. Press Ctrl Alt Del to recover"
Every page I've Googled about this error tells me my hard drive is shot and needs to be replaced. I'm in total denial so, can this really be? Have I lost all my data?
Does the hard drive need to be gutted and replaced?
Thanks.
