Dell error code ofoo:o244 - Computers & Internet

Hi,

It is unfortunate that the computer displays an error code as "ofoo 0131d". Request you to use the below link and install My Dell:
http://dell.to/1cn35y5
Then run a diagnostics using My Dell and let me know the test results.

Thanks and Regards.

Boot into Safe Mode.
Open a command prompt as Administrator.
Type in chkdsk /r and reboot the machine.
Let it run to check and repair errors.

The error codes and the fix for all the error codes are available in the following link....

The hard drive is failing and must be replaced.If you run CHKDSK you may think it is fixed but really it isn't!
If you're under warranty, call Dell and request a pre-imaged replacement drive. Report the error code.
If you're out of warranty, any 2.5" 9.5 mm SATA notebook drive can be used to replace your failing unit.

Those codes all apply to the hard drive itself..

Replacing the hard drive is all you should have to do.

Below is a link to a brand new hard drive that will work in your Inspiron 6000

Is this from a blue screen error ?

A "STOP" MESSAGE in white letters behind a blue background?

If it's a sata message (hard drive error message), this means that your harddrive is dead or about to die. Most likely its already dead, this error means also that the harddrive cant be read anymore.

At this point, you need to get your info backed up and then reinstall the operating system of your choice.

Go into bios. Turn off SMART. If this is even available. This will not improve the situation. This error means that the drive is losing sectors. It is usually from a drop or from overheating. Your drive will stop working completely at any time if it starts at all. Copy the data ASAP and get a new drive.

Call Dell if under warranty. Start shopping for a replacement hdd if outside of warranty. You'll need
your OS disks that came with computer (hopefully). If you don't have OS/recovery disks, you can get
them from Dell or even using somebody elses (match version with sticker on your laptop).

Check the hdd connection underneath laptop - make sure cable is not loose, etc.

Probably safe to say your data is gone unless you're willing to spend $$.
