When turning on laptop screen says disk read error... Press ctl-alt-del then reboots and repeats same problem. Only other option is hitting f2 bringing up setup utility menu. Can anyone help.
 
What is your laptop model / make?
When you enter BIOS, can you see your hard drive present?
Have you tried booting off CD/USB and checking the hard drive integrity?
