Old PC From Basement Disc Read Error

[SageKingTyler]

while my main gaming pc is dead from my post below i got another pc from my basement its from my fathers work i guess they bought it a couple year back but didnt use it so they gave it to us because its old now Anyways when i try to install windows 7 ultimate on it after its done installing windows and it restarts then i get a Disc Read Error when it boots back up i looked in the boot setting in the bios and i moved the drive to position #2 because i cant put it in #1 when i move whats in #1 it just gets disabled so idk what else to do i mean the drive cant be dead cause windows goes onto it

What happens when you try a manual boot override?

While the drive isnt ''dead'' it can have defective sectors which cause issues on boot or cause problems to be intermittent. 

 

Try resetting the BIOS perhaps? Or change the SATA cable connected to the drive?

i did load optimized defaults no change And i dont think i have extra sata cable

For example on a Dell, pressing the F12 key when it boots up will bring you to the ''Boot Menu'' in which you can select to start your PC on a specific drive or even on a DVD or USB key. 

well if i spam f2 i get into the bios and can go into the boot tab is that the same thing
