So I have this same problem but one other that is making things quite
difficult.

Upon attempted boot a disk read error occured eroo shows up and so i am
trying to boot a cd to get to the recovery console and i have a diff
utilities boot CD.

But when i try to boot from CD i have to select CD-rom from the boot
devices and then i get a single blinking underscore for maybe 15
seconds and then the disk read error pops back up.

Both these cds, aswell as test cds all boot fine on this computer but
on my laptop all i can get is disk read error.

any ideas?

P.s. i already checked the HDD connection.

Only that it would appear that you have a severe hardware problem on
your laptop. Take it to a pro.

If the connection is good then perhaps the drive is no longer
functioning properly and needs to be replaced. A good shop should be
able to test it out for you.
