hello, I'm new to this forum.I was defragging my drive, and had it set to shut down after defrag for the umpteenth time. I let it defrag overnight while I was sleeping. I wake up, open the lid and find a blank screen with power light still on so I feared the worst and held power button to shut down. I started it up and found this message"Boot Sector Not Found". I then try to fix the probs by system recovery but the process only went halfway through and finally I run a diagnostic test on the computer. When it gets to the Hard Drive Self test, it fails, saying the above error codes. I looked it up and it means that my hard drive is kaput.

Is this true? If so, how do I get my laptop to Dell for replacement/repairs?

Thanks in advance. :emotion-1:
