This error code is related with the hard drive problem. There is a possibility of hard drive failure.

    Hi,
    I had a same problem after my laptop fell down. Can you tell me, whether i can recover my data atleast from the hard drive. If so, some pointers plz.

    Yes You can recover the data, please try the few steps below :

    You can connect the same hard drive to a different computer Via a Sata Casing and see if the hard drive is getting detected or not, in most of the cases the hard drive will get detected and you will be able to access your data, If not then you can use a recovery software. If you need my help you can reach me on my email [email protected], we can chat and help you resolve the problem, if you are a skype user my skype id is jayant.jha355

    regards

This error code means that your hard drive has failed.

You can try to reformat and reinstall. If that doesn't work you will need a new hard drive.

Code error 0146 and 0148

Both of these are hard drive errors. Error 0146 is a failed hard drive or bad drive sector, and 0148 is that thew machine is no longer detecting the hard drive. Basically, your hard drive has failed and will need replaced. Replace the hard drive and you will be set. The best place I've found to buy hard drives is at pricewatch.com, they have the best prices on the market.
