Hi there,

It seems your computer hard drive is defective. Usually with "Disc Read Errors" it indicates that the computer hard drive is surely going bad.

You can use a good hard drive diagnostics utility such as "Seatools" to test the hard drive but I have a strong gut feeling that your computer hard drive is defective. Here's the link to the Seatools utility = SeaTools | Seagate

One thing you can do right now is to take out hard drive from the computer and connect the hard drive to a working computer via USB-to-SATA adapter. Then try transfer the files from the hard drive onto the working computer.

Hope everything works out well.
