It recognizes and list on the Blue screen HDD Fixed and list a number. BUT under my diagnostic ut list the following code. 2000-0151  Vadlidation 62721    Msg : Hard Drive 0- #########, incorrect status =3E. 

PLEASE PLEASE someone help me. Do I need a new hard drive or does this mean I have bad sectors?

Hi,

Error Code 2000-0151 indicates issue with the hard drive or the system board.

Hard drive replacement is the first step to isolate the issue.

Please refer to the link mentioned below for information on error codes:

Hi,

I would suggest you to re-run the test and check if the same error comes up.

If the same error comes up, try booting the system to safe mode. Restart the system and tap F8 key on the Dell Logo.

Select Safe Mode and hit enter. If the system does not boot to safe mode, hard drive needs replacement for system to function properly.

Thanks & Regards

The hard drive is toast - you need a new, 2.5" 9.5 or 7 mm SATA notebook drive.

Sir but in this case can we get data from our Hard Disk drive... ?

Because I cannot afford to loose it in any case..

It may still be possible to recover the data, but it's going to require a professional data recovery outfit.  These aren't cheap -- the prices start at about $600 and can easily escalate to four figures.

www.gillware.com is a well respected recovery service with a good track record and relatively reasonable fees.
