“A Disk Read Error Occurred.
Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart”
One fine day, just like that, it gives me no other option. After selecting Vista on GRUB menu, I’m confronted with that message on a black screen. Googleing for a solution I see several people damning the hard drive dead. I could not accept declaring it dead just yet. So I found other comments with different ways around this problem. One of them talked about how the partition boot table could be the issue and instructed on using a rescue console command called “fixmbr”.
