Thanks to all who offered help:

There were a number of responses to my request for help re the DISK READ
ERROR problem and I am grateful for the assistance. I am sharing my
experiences with you in hopes that others may benefit. Among the suggestions
I received were a couple that recommended that I catch the disk when
it was just beginning to spin and switch the power on and off rapidly - this
worked. When I turned the PC on the next day, the disk was still working.
Prior to my having a problem with the disk, I had not used my  PC for
1 month and I was wondering if this period of inactivity might be the
cause of or a contributing factor to the disk problem.
