The Mini 9 aka Inspiron 910 doesn't use a standard hard drive but rather a Mini PCI-E SSD.
0F00:0244 means your drive is bad. If you have another computer you can setup a usb flash drive to boot from.
You Press the ZERO aka 0 key on the keyboard and choose boot from USB Flash. The 910 has an SD slot that also is useful since it will take up to 32 Gig SD card. I use an Echo ZE drive that stays plugged in so I do not need to take it out.
You use the utility from Pendrivelinux to format the USB flash drive as bootable and then PRESS 0 on the keyboard to choose the USB storage device.
There are replacements from Super Talent, RunCore, etc.
RunCore Pro 50mm PATA Mini PCI-e PCIe SSD Compatible with the Dell ...
Super Talent 16 GB Internal hard drive

Your solid state drive has failed - you need a new one.
