“A disk read error occurred Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart”


Cara simple untuk mengatasinya adalah sebagai berikut:
Boot CD XP (pengalaman saya pakai XP SP 3)
Tekan R untuk repair yg pertama dan otomatis akan buka recovery console
gunakan command CHKDSK /p tunggu sampai selesai
kemudian gunakan CHKDSK /R tunggu sampai selesai
dari pengalaman langsung bisa masuk windows
kemudian defrag OS Drive (default by C:) untuk mencegah terjadinya error lagi
good luck.
kalo misalnya dari command di atas masih gagal mungkin bisa coba list command di bawah ini:
CHKDSK [volume[[path]filename]]] [/F] [/V] [/R] [/X] [/I] [/C] [/L[:size]]
volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),
mount point, or volume name.
filename FAT/FAT32 only: Specifies the files to check for fragmentation.

• /F : Fixes errors on the disk.

• /V : On FAT/FAT32: Displays the full path and name of every file on the disk. On NTFS: Displays cleanup messages if any.

• /R : Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information (implies /F).

• /L:size : NTFS only: Changes the log file size to the specified number of kilobytes. If size is not specified, displays current size.

• /X : Forces the volume to dismount first if necessary. All opened handles to the volume would then be invalid (implies /F).

• /I : NTFS only: Performs a less vigorous check of index entries.

• /C : NTFS only: Skips checking of cycles within the folder structure.

The /I or /C switch reduces the amount of time required to run Chkdsk by
skipping certain checks of the volume.
