The hard drive has been locked in the BIOS. If you cannot get into the bios with a password you can contact Dell for a code to unlock the BIOS and drive ... Here is a link that might help.
If this hard drive has been in your computer all along then you likely had a password in the BIOS at some point and you'll need that password to unlock it. If the hard drive used to be in another computer and you've moved it to the laptop. you won't be able to unlock it without the original password. You might try contacting the vendor of the laptop for help unlocking it if it is, in fact, a computer you bought at the same time as the hard drive. Otherwise, your drive is possible locked without a way to unlock it without maybe erasing it.
This is going to be very hard as once hard disks are locked they cannot be undone so if you have no passwords to get into the security of the HDD, its a new hard disk i'm afraid.
