I am trying to reformat my friends pc for him and it keeps telling me "DISK I/O Error Replace disk and hit any key" I can't even seem to get into the bios screen cause there is no option available from the initial start-up screen. It just stays on the screen and tell me to hit delete to resume which then takes me to the dos screen with the error message.
