It's actually a virus that comes up and tells you that. I suggest you ignore the screen and download Malwarebytes from www.download.com and run a quick scan and see what it detects.

I've seen this on several computers over the past 2 months, and in some cases it forces you to shutdown/restart. It's just a virus that creates a fake alert that your hard drive may be bad.

Press ctrl+alt+del to restart is just an instruction. Did you do it?
What happened? Was it read? Tell us more. Send your e-mail for
us to give you our feedback.
By the way, assuming that it did not work, Your hard disk must be
configured to your PC, by running a software driver for your new hard
disk. You can download it from the internet by running search " hard
disk driver". Just specify the brand.

Problem with a disk read error
There are a couple of possibilities.

1. The hard drive is defective.

2. The operating system is corrupt.

The easiest way to test this is to run the restore cd that came with the computer to reload Windows.

If you get this error while running the restore cd then you will need to get a new hard drive.
