Error Code 2000-0151, HDD, 3E Smart Predictive Failure

Sir, but what to do if the windows is not booting up ?

There's not much you can do at this point except replace the drive.  If you did not prepare a set of  recovery media when you received the system, be sure you contact Dell, as you will need one - they should supply one with the replacement drive if you're under warranty (if not, you should still be able to purchase a copy of the recovery media you'll need).

You may or may not be able to recover data from the drive -- to try, purchase a 2.5" drive enclosure and mount the failing drive into it.  Attach it to the system by USB once you have it up and running on a new drive -- you may be able to recover some or all of your data files from the drive.

Hello, I had the same problem but mine is not booting up it will black screen or sometimes get to the repair menu but if I get to the repair menu and start to try to repair it will say "Repairing Disk Errors. This may take more than an hour". That repair screen just goes on for 8+ hours

Hi Molkars :emotion-2:

You run the Diagnostic tool on your computer ? If yes, you're getting the same error code 2000-0151 as others in this thread? If no, then I like to suggest you do run it.

1. Power off the computer

2. Power on computer, quickly start tapping the F12 key continuously. You should see diagnostic, report back any error code.

I have the same error code 2000-0151 but my computer won't load I ran the diagnostic and the hard drive image has a red X beside it.

Any standard 2.5" 9.5 or 7 mm drive will work.

Thank u I understood 2.5inch but what is this 9.5 or 7mm and one small request my hard disk is rpm 5400 can I go for 7200  or not

The drive can either be 9.5 or 7 mm in height;  the rotation speed is your choice.  Either 5400 or 7200 will work - so will a solid state drive if you want the best in performance you can get.
