I have seen these symptoms before when the hard disk drive has failed. It will hand on the POST screen (The part with the DELL logo) for slightly longer than usual due to fault with the drive, after that it will attempt to boot and error from the hard disk so quickly you see nothing but the laptop appear to cut out. Although the hard disk is the most likely thing to be at fault these issues could potentially be caused by any one of the parts within you laptop being broken. If you are fairly tech savvy try downloading this utility "Seatools" http://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/ burn it to a bootable CD. Put the bootable CD in you DELL laptop and boot off it, by pressing F12 and selecting to boot from CD/DVD drive. Then run a "Long test" once this test is complete the software will advise you whether the hard disk is faulty or not. If you are not confident in trying this I would recommend taking the laptop to be diagnosed by your local computer repair business.

Hello,This is telling you that your hard drive has failed. If it is in warranty, then contact Dell and they will fix it free of charge. If not, then get a new hard drive and reinstall windows/drivers/software with the discs that came with the laptop. Or you could take it in to a service shop and they will do it for you.Hope this helps!Joe

Larry provides great answer up there ^^^ which is better down here. Larry Ng Jun 23, 2022 NO PC told (dell has 10000 models) no OS told, windows what"? no drive told. my wild wild guess is the boot drive is locked. and you are attempting and ******* act. to it. like deleting key parts of a running OS (windows) (like deleted tires on rims of 85mph moving car, fails) no real goal told, but the nebular "install HDD" one can add a 2nd drive easy or any of 1000s of external HDD models or external or internal, SSD or even a thumb drive. (vast) (just 2 steps in fact) but the boot drive , change out is far far far more complex. and you never not told that. you want to mess with the C: drive? now let me guess the real goal (sad I must) the OS drive windows is failing ( common) and some lil' bird told you it needs a new boot drive, and then fail to say so here. okay I will bite. 1: buy a new SSD (hdd fail and are slow) 2: buy a new OS, from MS. or get free w10. (ask how) 3: then put in new SSD, 4: run the w10 installer media (it is free) 5: load w10 to the SSD fresh 6: answer the silly 30 questions it asks. 7: and click activate. (buy it) ..

to what, no PC told no OS told windows locked you out BIOS admin, or HDD locked or power on locked out?<< all bios. or bitlocker locked out or any of its 100 clones

can;t log in now or what? what does change mean, lost it and now can not get in or means just want to change it , logged in. NO PC told and NO OS told or if bios admin or windows admin. bios or windows. both are hacking./ if lost. so google the cure.

so PC runs perfect right , just email bad. right? your browser can visit many websites ok? yes /no? if yes, good , if no, wifi is dead. fix WIFI forget email now. so can you login at life.com or not. live is both email and more even the cloud and the STORE. if only live fails ask MS to fix it. live is them, them only

push the physical cd drive try button marked EJECT the PC must be running, or use the paper clip hole trick. (if PC is dead or tray jammed) google that. clip trick the dell manuals covers this

add one noun to what. vast things have it, name one, please.

ask at Microsoft.com forum , there? or learn that if PC had this new, it is in fact crippleware. and will nag you until you buy it or do the rent things, 360 jive. best is buy it and set it up like you went. even 2007 runs here on w10. office. the PCs most on earth new, come with free but fully crippleware. as do vast other bloatware loaded on new PC. I erase all that junk and set up my own things paid and licensed.
