Intermittently and boot up I am getting the error:
"Disk Read Error
Press Alt+Ctrl+Del to restart"
so I do that and it repeats itself.
The first time it happened I switched out the IDE cable and it was fine so I thought i had solved the problem. But then this morning it happened again. So I tried switching the cable again and no change. So I tried a spare hard disk I have laying around and no change...
So I know it's not the disk or the cable so it's the motherboard right? I went into the cmos and changed it to load fail safe settings and it finally worked, but I'm not sure if that was coincidental. In any case the only thing I can think of to try on the motherboard is getting a new battery, any other suggestions.
P.S. It's a gigabyte board, don't know exactly which one.
