Dell Inspiron 5100 will not boot. Error ide

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

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

sounds like a complete motherboard failure with a lot of other problems.
if you remove the HDD ( turn the machine over. 2 screws on the right.slide drive out ) and mount it in an external caddy you should be able to use another machine to access the drive and probably get most data off it.

Those are Hard disk drive error codes, you will need to replace the hard disk drive.
Here is a selection of possible replacement drives:

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 $$.

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.
Error Code 0F00:0244
"Msg Block 5*****4: Uncorrectable data error code or media is write protected"
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!!

try not to delete partition 0 recovery disc, just delete partition 0 operating system

Hard drive is fried!

This seems to Be a common problem with dells, The only way to fix it is to buy a new HD, And all data is Unrecoverable. Sorry for your loss
