That code is a Windows boot error. I'm not sure what you can do with the Dell OS media stick but the traditional solution with a regular hard disk is to take a Windows 7 OS disk, boot with it, and run startup repair. Here's a link to Startup Repair: Startup Repair Microsoft Windows
Usually if the message "a required device is inaccessible" then there is a problem with the hard disk, maybe if the HDD can be test with manufacturers test software, otherwise you have a faulty HDD and it needs to be replaced.
You MUST have a boot device like CD, DVD, or USB. Use the install disc to access command prompt, by choosing the repair option. You could also download and burn a boot CD like Hirens.
The other option is to remove the drive and attach it as a slave or USB to another computer.
Reboot windows without any CD in drive and tap F8 key before windows screen appears. Select safe mode from the menu that appears and elect to do a system restore. If this doesn't work you could try changing the boot order in the bios ensuring that your hard drive is first boot device. should get into bios when starting PC usually F2 or del key. remember to save changes in bios normally F10
If you can install Windows Vista and only XP not work for sure this is the solution : SATA operation mode is AHCI To change this : Open BIOS Look for SATA Operation Mode or somethin equivalent and change-it to IDE or Compatibility Mode.
The Innaccessable Boot Device message means one of 2 things:
1: your hard drive has died - not much here, must replace drive.
2: The master boot record has become corrupt. Without any media, this will be hard to fix. You will need to boot to the Windows CD and either run the recovery console or perform a windows repair to fix this issue.
You're getting that error message because the boot files on your hard drive (the required inaccessible device) are corrupted.
When first booting, press F8 repeatedly. Will the computer let you go into safe mode? If not, without the installation cd, you're kinda between a rock and a hard place. However, you can download a (free) vista recovery disk (repair only) from the people at easyBCD: http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Recovering+the+Vista+Bootloader+from+the+DVD
Just follow the directions to do a start up repair.
If that works, by all means, make yourself a recovery cd before doing anything else.
