A disk read error occurred Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
I am facing problem with my Lap top(DELL LATITUDE D520).When I switched on the system I get a message as "A disk read error occurred Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart".
When I do a Ctrl+Alt+Del , I again get the same screen and same message
I am not even able to go to safe mode by pressing F8
I am able to go only to F2-Set Up and F12 Boot Menu
I am having lot of data in the system.
Suggest any work around rather than formatting the machine

Most likely the hard drive has failed. Power on, press F12, load the Dell diagnostics and run the extended -- not just the quick - hard drive test.
