You probably get this message because one of your disks
has developed a flaw, as the message says.
 
Because you have a bad hard drive?

I can't even begin to understand why you are asking this question when you
have been given the exact cause of your problem by an error message.

If you knew as much as you think you know,
You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!
 
Hard drives are "mecanical" devices! They have motors and gears that will
wear out. If you are getting this message, then your drives are failing, or
have failed. Can you still access both? If yes, the backup your files and
replace the hard drives.
 
When you press enter to proceed what happens??
Can you enter XP??
Can you enter win98??
whichever one you cannot enter is the broken one!!
