To determine if your hard drive is bad or good, run the Dell diagnostics.
Here is a link for the owner's manual of your model:

1.If you purchase an external USB CD drive you will not need to use your floppy discs for booting. 2. You can connect a USB CD drive to your system. 3. Your system will recognize any device plugged into your USB drive. 4. There is no CD drive available for internal installation in your computer. 5. With the USB CD drive plugged in and the windows installation disc inserted, your computer should take you through the setup program automatically.

Hi Erika,
have you tried pressing F8 when it starts booting (keep pressing it before dell bios screen fully loads)
you should get a black screen with options,
scroll up to with arrow keys>> "last known good configeration"
let me know if that works?
also have you installed any programs or hardware befor this happened?

Errr...sounds like fun.
OK well I would stop trying to get Windows back in working condition until after you backup your files.
The easiest way is to remove the hard drive from the system and place it into a usb enclosure.
Backup the files and then reinstall windows.
If you try the band-aid method you'll just end up wasting your time.
Hope this helps.

I just had this same problem a few weeks ago. This error code means you have a bad sector in your hard drive which is cheap and easy to fix. You just need to unscrew the bottom screws holding your hard drive in and place the old cover on the new hard drive you buy. Screw that new one in and reload your programs. Your computer will be as good as knew after that. Look on your invoice to get the hard drive specs so you can buy a new one or just enter your service tag on the dell site and check out the specs of the ones they offer for upgrade.

Also will a external hard drive with Linux on there solve anything (I feel like I don't know what I'm talking about)
