I recently removed some malware from my Dell Laptop and upon rebooting my computer after the final steps of removing the malware a black error screen appeared stating: [XLDR] ATA ERROR. I have to then manually reboot after which windows starts normally. I am worried about this error message though and was wondering what the message might mean and what I can do about it.

Thank you in advance.

I suggest that you start a new topic in the Malware Removal and Spyware Removal area.

Before you start a new topic click on this link --> Malware and Spyware Cleaning Guide, Please read before starting a new topic. This will give you a few preparations to make, as well as instruction for posting your OTListIt2 log.

If you are still having problems after being given a clean bill of health from the malware expert, then please return to THIS thread and we will pursue other options to help you solve your current problem(s).

I see. Thanks

After some reading, it looks like running fixmbr command from Recovery Console usually fixed the problem.
