    Boot problems on laptop

    Mates laptop is starting and saying "Disk Read Error, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart"

    And this just loops over and over.

    No floppies or CDs in, so I presume its the hard disk...

    Any suggestions?

    Boot from CD with XP in and launch recovery console..
