Got a disk read error when I selected a program destination from our list. Tried a disk cleaner no luck. Checked disk for defect none found. Put disk back in same error. I clean with disk with isopropyl rubbing alcohol. DO not rub it on the disk, pat the disk with a very wet lint free towel or paper towel till the disk is wet. I let it soak for a few minutes. Very careful pat it with another paper towel till dry. I let it sit for 1 hour to insure it was dry. I put it back in trouble and error message gone been a month. Hope this help.


Is a ruptured disk the same as a budging disk?

No. The disk between the vertebra is like a sandwich. It has a filling that we call a disk. If the disk is pushed out a little bit, it is called a budging disk. If it comes out most of the way or all the way, it is a ruptured disk. This is more serious as it can push on the nerves so much so that you will need surgery. The other can sometimes be treated by physical therapy but it can get worse and rupture.

What is an A disk in microbiology?

You'd have to be more specific in your question. However, disks are often laden with antibiotics to see if a bacteria is resistant or susceptible to that antibiotic. The disk is placed on a nutrient agar and then bacteria is spread onto that disk. If the bacteria is susceptible to that antiobiotic, it will grow on the nutrient plate, but not around the disk containing the antibiotic. The larger the clear area around the disk, the more susceptible the bacteria is to that antibiotic. If it is resistant to that antiobiotic, it will grow on the plate and adjacent to the antibiotic laden disk indicating that antibiotic is not effective towards that particular bacterial strain. In one such test the A disk had bactracin. However, I am not comfortable saying that all A disks have bactracin. How the disk is labeled may differ.
