Error Code 0F00:1344 - Msg: Block 2242 uncorrectable data error or media is write protected

try to run with chkdsk command and if it is fail kindly replace the disk.

sounds like a bad hard drive. Press f12 during the dell logo on startup and choose "diagnostics" from the boot menu, see if more failures relating to the hard drive are returned.

Uncorrectable data error code or media is write protected which mean the test found a big problem have a computer repair shop look at it.

It does look like you may have a problem with the hard drive on the computer.

In regards to recovering your data if you have access to another computer you can connect the hard drive to it to see if the data is recoverable. Note since you ran the system recovery it may have over written your data. If this is the case then you might check with your local computer store to see if they have a hard drive data recovery program. As long as there is not a physical problem with the drive they may be able to recover the formatted data.

After that I would look at the top of the drive to see who the manufacture of the drive is then download there diag and repair tool for the hard drive. While you have the drive on the computer run a repair scan on the drive. If you just have some bad sectors then the diag program will zero them out and repair the drive. If the drive is indeed bad the program will tell you this as well.

If the drive is bad and your computer is still in warranty then you should be able to get Dell to send you a replacement hard drive. If you are not sure if you are still in warranty let me know the service tag of your computer and I can look it up for you. Also note you will want to have Dell send you your recovery CD if you do not already have it.

Let me know if you have any more problems or questions

Hi,
Pleae reboot your system and when you see the Dell logo , press the F12 key a couple of times .
In the menu, select only HDD diagnostics and post the results back . If the harddrive fails, then the only solution would be to replace the same. If the hardrive passes , we may be able tp fix the system

Thanks

Hi there.
Sorry but i have to inform you that your hard drive is failing, the error messages that you are getting relate to this fact and is related to the hard drive having unrecoverable bad sectors or immanent hard drive failure.
There is no way you can recover the drive!!
Your only option now would be to buy a new drive for the computer or if the machine is still under warranty take advantage of that and send it in for repair, you will no doubt have to purchase a windows installation disk too.

Good luck and thanks for using FixYa!!

Sorry to say the hard drive has failed or is corrupt with bad sectors, with these Dell drives there is no way of fixing them.
There maybe a possibility that you can recover your data if it still spins up and you add it to another computer as a slave device.

Good luck and thanks for using FixYa!!

it sounds like the easiest solution would to either run the repair sequence from a windows xp disk (may not be a perminant fix) if that doesent work just use the xp disk to format the drive and install a new operating system

It sounds like you have a corrupted hard drive you can try to restore to last known good configuration by pressing F8 when you boot up. If that doesn't work find your restore disk and select repair windows first. before installing new(all date will be lost) mysleuth

basically, this error means "uncorrectable data error or media is write protected " or hdd has to be replaced. dell can do that automatically if your under warranty.

the error means hdd has bad sectors already. chkdsk /r cannot fix that. but theres a chance of reinstalling os on the hdd. os reinstall process freezing up is a possibility though.
