I turned it off, and then on, 'VAIO' logo showed and then nothing, just black screen. Turned it off/on couple of times and then ' A disk read error occurred, press ctrl+alt+Del' message showed. <BR />Been reading around and it seems that HDD is gone.. Last year I sent my Vaio to warranty repair, it stated 'HDD boot fail'. I am out of warranty, but as HDD was changed once, will they fix it for free or I'll have to pay?</P><P>I have devided HDD in half, so is there any chance of getting files back?</P><P></P><P></P><P>If this helps, then laptop is being used daily.</P><P></P><P>Thanks,<BR />hunker7</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 20 Feb 2012 15:59:10 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/disk-read-error/m-p/299058#M28771 hunker7 2012-02-20T15:59:10Z disk read error https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/disk-read-error/m-p/299059#M28772 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Most probably you will need to pay for it.
