a disk error occurred press ctrl+alt+del to restart
Hi there, I didnt touch my Dell Laptop for past 2 weeks. When I tried to switch on today, a message appeared on the screen "a disk error occurred press ctrl+alt+del to restart". What should I do? n y does this happen?
I have ran the Dell Diagnostic tool. Here are the msgs I received,
1. Hard Drive : Error (Read test)
Error code 0f00:0232
Msg: DISK_0 Block 573824: Interrupt Request (IRQ) not sent in time.
The given error code & msg can be used by dell technical support to help diagnose the problem:
Do You Want To Continue testing?
(Overall progress:20%)
2. Hard Drive : Error (Seek test)
Error code 0f00:0432
Msg: DISK_0 Interrupt Request (IRQ) not sent in time.
(Overall progress:40%)
3.Error code 0f00:1232 (smart test)
Msg: DISK_0 Interrupt Request (IRQ) not sent in time.
(Overall progress:60%)
4.Error code 0f00:1A32 (Verify test)
Msg: DISK_0 Interrupt Request (IRQ) not sent in time.
(Overall progress:80%)

Hi Yu_Buffon,
Those errors indicate your hard drive has probably failed. Is your laptop still under warranty?

Hi there, the laptop's warranty has expired. I think I should get a new hd for the laptop. Thanx 4 the reply!

Hey There,
I've got a similar situation... What if the laptop isn't under warranty, and extension is not an option? How hard is it to buy a new hard drive? Or should I just toss this bloody thing in the river and get a new one? ...from apple.

Hi there, it is relatively easy to change the hd on a DELL laptop, especially the STUDIO range laptops. They are more "open". I have changed the hd once. But I'm not sure about the laptops from APPLE. As far as I know, u cant do any hardware modification after u purchased it (APPLE).
