Dell Dimension E520. This is obviously a hardware problem as this error comes up as soon as the POST hands off to the hard disk.
On a cold boot, I get "Disk Read Error, Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart your computer". Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del restarts the system and it always starts up and runs without incident after this point. Performance and everytng else is plenty acceptable and error free.
I have run Seatools on the Seagate hard disk and it passes all tests.
What is causing this error?
How can it be prevented?
