SOURCE: my laptop keeps sayin disk

Usually you get this message when the hard drive has crashed or there's a disc inside the cd / dvd rom.

Check your bios settings to make sure your computer boots to the hard drive itself.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask ;)

SOURCE: i have hp mini 110.

We ran a typical Sony VGP-BPS9 battery of tests, including games, applications, and a couple other areas. Time constraints limited the amount of testing we could get done before the NDA lift (and it's already a few hours late), but we will be providing a follow-up article with further testing and information. That said, if there are any specific areas that you'd like to see tested, feel free to e-mail me or leave a comment.

SOURCE: A DISK READ ERROR HAS

This can mean a couple things... Your PC might have gotten corrupted by a virus, or the hard drive is going bad. Try pressing "F8" key upon boot up and see if you can get into the computer in safe mode.

If you can then go to "My Computer" and then right click on the c drive and select "properties". You will then go to the "Tools" tab and run an error check on the drive. After that you will want to try scanning your computer for any possible infections.

If you can not get the PC into safe mode then you will need to reformat the drive and reload your PC. But if you have information on the drive that you need. Your best bet then is to go out and get and external cabinet for your hard drive and a new hard drive. Put the new drive in your PC and the old drive in the external for later. Reload the PC and then copy the information off the old drive onto your new hard drive.

Best of luck...

    Press delete enter to set up so what can i do nothing is working

    Sound you are trying to get into the BIOS, some use key F2,F8, or F10, it will say very fast what the correct key is, it might be very fast.

    The first item is the key or key combination. The second is the model of PC or the maker of the BIOS. You'll see some companies listed many times, with different keystrokes. That's normal. (It's not that manufacturers can't make up their minds. It's just that they change suppliers and use different BIOS setups.)
    Delete: AMI or Award BIOS.
    Esc: Toshiba
    F1: Toshiba; Phoenix; some IBM PS/1 models.
    F10: Compaq.
    F2: NEC.
    Insert: IBM PS/2.
    Tab: eMachines.
    Reset button (press twice): Some old Dells.
    Ctrl-Alt-+: Various computers.
    Ctrl-Alt-?: Some old IBM PS/2 models.
    Ctrl-Alt-Enter: Some Dells, others.
    Ctrl-Alt-Esc: AST, Tandon, others.
    Ctrl-Alt-Ins: Zenith PCs, Phoenix BIOS.
    Ctrl-Alt-S: Phoenix BIOS.
    Ctrl-Alt-Shift with Del (on number pad): Olivetti.
    Ctrl-Esc: Many PCs.
    Ctrl-Ins: Some IBM PS/2s.
    Ctrl-S: Phoenix BIOS.
    Ctrl-Shift-Esc: Tandon

    It's not one key, but a combination of three keys. Press the CTRL key, and the ALT key, and the DEL or DELETE key at the same time.

    During start up i receive press ctrl, alt, delete to start pc

    That is normal for a companies Windows Professional installation. When you hold down CTRL and ALT then press DELETE another window will pop up asking your login name and password. In the older days, CTRL, ALT and DELETE would restart your computer, but now they use that in Professional versions of windows.
