| the message is "disk read error, press ctrl+alt+del to boot", it after booting it will dispplay the message again. |

| Sounds like the hard drive is on the way out. Only real way of checking is by putting it in another machine and running windows disk checker on it.

| Yep ..... it does sound that way. If you have had the case apart recently, check the connections to the drive and the motherboard are not loose.

| If you have an XP CD you can boot from it and run chkdsk /f from the recovery console. I agree with the others, though, the disk is starting to fail probably. Replace it ASAP.
