oldest story in pC there is, besides bad batteries, more.
the real dell site, not fixya, has 1000s of users
with bad hdd,
many fail at 5 years, laptops
desktops at 10 , or much longer running real enterpize HDD.
or get SSD
best is a new SSD, they last longer and are 10x faster.
The problem is either the Hard drive has failed and needs replacement or the hard drive is operational but it lost the OS. (Operating System). If the OS is gone, you need to re-install it again..

Hi ! Error code is this error code 2000 - 0146??? if that is the error message you have to contact dell technical support to replace the hard drive because that error code mean that the hard drive is already faulty. You can Reinstall the Hard drive as well but it is not guarantee that it will fix the issue. Most of the time dell will send a hard drive replacement for that kind of message if the system is still in warranty it will be free but if not you have to pay for the replacement. Hope this will help you . God Bless!
SOURCE: Hi, I bought DELL INSPIRON
ok, the good news, the bad news, and the ugly.
Good news: buy a replacement hard drive and you should be good to go.
Bad news: data recovery on a failed drive is a crapshoot at best- there are ways to try and recover, but they are stopgap (and cheap) or mostly reliable (and freaking EXPENSIVE)
Ugly: buy an external cage to install the hard drive, use a boot cd of Linux ( I've had better luck pulling files from NTFS drives using Linux than another install of Windows. Go figure....) and put the hard drive in a freezer bag- **** ALL AIR OUT OF THE BAG!. Put drive in freezer for 48 hours.
Pray. Pray hard. Pray harder still.
Put drive in external cage, attach to linux system. Pull as much info as you can. Hopefully you can snag your important files- but that error is a pretty gnarly drive error.

SOURCE: Dear sir ,
Dear questioner after going through couple of posts on dell support forum I found that this problem occurs if your hard drive is not functioning well
If you laptop has warranty please visit the nearest dell store
