Hello all,

I just purchased a brand new computer and the thing won’t work. I get the following errors:

Booting from C:…Disk Read Error, try again

I purchased the computer with Windows Home installed but I have a nagging feeling that nothing is installed.

Any advice on how to get this thing running would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
