As stated in the title, I am getting a "Disk Error" when booting Dell E6400 on the dell-issued docking station. I can get around this by cracking the screen, pressing the power button then shutting the screen, then waiting for the disks to spin, then slamming it into the docking station at the right time. I don't see too much information on the error online. Any ideas or fixes?

Are you able to get into windows without docking it? – r0ca Jun 21 '10 at 13:30
Yep - everything is fine, the only issue is when I am booting while docked. I can fully boot windows off the dock and then re-dock if I want with no issue, it's just a pain to get it to use both my monitors correctly in that case. – stayinwett Jun 21 '10 at 13:32
Does the docking station have a harddrive, attached USB-harddrive, or otherwise some sort of drive bay extension? – Darth Android Jun 21 '10 at 13:37
No - it was in a monitor stand but I took it out and tried it to get the same error. What is connected now is vga, dvi, power, ethernet, mouse/keyboard (usb) – stayinwett Jun 21 '10 at 14:00
