a few days ago my laptop started to display "a disk read error occurred, press ctrl+alt+del to restart" pressing those buttons would reboot and return to the same screen. For the first day or so while i was trying to recover my data, i was able to enter the bios to change boot order so i could boot from and Ubuntu live cd, By the time i managed to get ubuntu running (off the live cd) it was about 3am so i only got about 3.5gb of data from the computer before deciding to head to bed. I clicked on hibernate then shut the laptop lid. When i turned the laptop on this morning i find that the laptop isn't booting from the disk anymore but just skipping straight to "a disk read error occurred, press ctrl+alt+del to restart", so i restarted looking to get into the bios to check the boot order settings but i couldn't. The acer screen appears, this usually has "press F2 to enter setup" but no longer does. Pressing F2, F12 or F8 doesn't do anything and if i keep pressing them the computer beeps really loud.
PLEASE HELP ME!!! (if you could try not be be too complicated, i'm not a computer pro or anything)
THANKS.
