You need to replace the hard drive - which, while an inexpensive component to replace, isn't easy to access on this model. You may want to view the video below before deciding to replace it yourself -- or have a shop do the job for you.
You'll need a new 2.5" 7- or 9.5 mm SATA notebook hard drive (or hybrid or solid state drive).

If you did not prepare a set of boot media, you will need to contact Dell to purchase one now.

You would want to create a separate thread for your current problem.
PS. You have to install all the drivers from support.dell.com after a fresh OS installation.
