Hello, and sorry to have a first post asking for help. I did a forced shutdown when my PC seemed to be incredibly slow then hanging while logging off. On restarting, I got 'disk read error' repeatedly, after the BIOS boot screen but before any of Windows.
I used my Windows install CD to run...
application issues
corrupted files
data recovery
desktoppreparation
disk check
disk error
event log
file recovery
forced shutdown
hard disk
malware check
recycle bin
slow performance
system repair
user accounts
user folder
windows accounts
windows installation
windows issues
wireless connection
My computer was slower than normal to boot for a while, it would stay on the Welcome... page for about 12secs (a long time). I turned on verbose messages, and it turns out, its "preparing my desktop" on each boot.
Two questions
1. What possible reasons could there be for such a thing?
2...
