A disk read error has occurred; press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart


hi everyone, how we all doing? better than myself i hope

I am running an HP Compaq Presario V6000 Notebook with a Windows Vista
Home edition i belive

When i try to turn my computer on i am getting teh

A disk read error has occurred; press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart

error.

The system has been acting strange teh past couple of days, freezing
up, blue screen of death, an di noticed it started after I had borrowed
a friends camera and plugged in the USB to retrieve the pictures, it was
after that my system started spitting out the BSOF and freezing up on
me.

Last night i was talking to my son on msn, it froze, i shut it down and
walked away, this morning i woke up, ready to work, turned on the system
and got the error message

My system is my bread and butter, it is how i conduct work and make my
money. I have been down 2 days now and have a few unhappy clients

I am hoping someone can help me figure out the problem, At this point,
I dont care if i lose files, i just want my system back. Keeping my
files would be lovely, but, i will settle for losing them if need be

Oh...
When i hit f12 while booting...i get this error....

PXE E61 Media Test Failure, Check Cable
PXE MOF Exiting Nvidia Boot agent

(the sometimes, under the above it will show Operating system not
found)

again though, the operating system not found error doesnt always show
up

so..if i dont hit anything and just turn on the computer, i get the
A disk read error has occurred; press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart

errror

if i hit f12 while booting. i get the

PXE E61 Media Test Failure, Check Cable
PXE MOF Exiting Nvidia Boot agent

error, with the operating system error once in a while

thank you all so much for reading my post, i do hope this problem can
be solved..

no, i do not have recovery disk
