Hi rahulpr069,
Error code 2000-0146 indicates a possible hard drive failure. We can try reseating the hard drive and try running the diagnostics again. If the diagnostics result in same error, the hard drive needs to be replaced.
Please visit http://dell.to/10GaKAc and enter the Service tag of your computer in the box provided. Click Submit, and then click the Manuals & Documentation tab to find the laptop’s service manual.
Follow the instructions from the laptop’s service manual to remove and reconnect the hard drive. Run the diagnostics again and reply with the results.
