Title: Newbie installation
Did you search the documentation that comes with Cache for <Disk>?  Right click the cube and select documentation.
 
<DISK> During an attempt to access a block in a file, the request to the operating system failed. This failure may have occurred because the disk is offline or because the actual size of the file is less than the expected size. Check that the disk is online. If it is, run Integrity on the global where the error occurred.
 
Giving simple directions to run Integrity and what to do with the findings is not possible.
 
If you are just setting up for the first time, then I would suggest you delete the cache.dat and a get a new copy from wherever you got it in the first place.  If this is a system that you absolutely must fix, then I would suggest you contact Intersystems and see what they would charge to fix your Cache.dat.  We had a database corruption once.  Even though I am experienced with fixing such things, it was more economical and much, much safer to have Intersystems do it.  We sent then the Cache.dat.  They fixed it and returned it to us.  Of course, your system will be down until you get it back.  This is the very reason that both Intersystems and GT.M highly recommend that one set up journaling and backups.  With those properly set up you can virtually eliminate this type of problem.  The problem could still occur, but then you would have the possibility of doing a restore and dejournal to get your system back.  Since ours was a development account, we had the occurrence because we were lazy like many people and did not have journaling set up.  Even this protection will not always save you.  If you get such a database problem and do not know if for some time then your backups will also have this database problem thus making it nearly impossible to perform recovery as mentioned.
 
Note to all - do not use an OS or third party backup tool when Cache is still running.  If you choose to do so, then you must shut cache down prior to performing the OS level backup of the Cache.dat.   Then it is safe to perform that backup without corrupting the Cache.dat.
