all i did was turn my computer i use for music and movies and i got a disk read error does that mean its dead?
no, just a sector/the whole of the HD is fubar/corrupted or badly connected. Is the HD with the music connected securely?
EDIT: try running a scandisk

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
Turn off PSU, then reboot. Try to see which boots first in the BIOS, HDD, CD etc. If it pops up again, then your HDD is fucked.

try running the HD diag software from your HD manufacturer.
scan disk is the windows disk checker that tests for errors.
alternatively you could plug the second HD into your main pc and see if it works there. Thats probably the best idea
EDIT: my money is also on fucked HD, but disk errors can also be caused by all sorts of crazy stuff, so we should at least attempt to salvage what is possible

remove everything that can store data on it... DVD's, CD's, Memory sticks.....
I get that problem when i disconnect my HD, becasue it automatically changed my boot order to memory stick first, then i get the same error
