Hard Drive : Error Code : 0142
Hello everyone,
First of all , I have a Dell Inspiron 15R (Windows 7), it currently has
an Seagate Momentus 750GB (ST9750420AS) SSD . It all started when
3 days ago , I tried to log in as Administrator but when clicked the (Admin's icon),it suddenly
froze there and nothing happened . I've tried so many times to turn
it back on ,but It keeps on freezing. Not even the safe mode works .
After a diagnosis, it showed me an error (see the photo). Could you
please tell me what that means ? Is the hard drive crashed, do I need to replace
it ?

The hard drive has indeed failed and yes, you must replace it.

Well then thanks for the reply . Do you know if a
Seagate Momentus Thin 500GB
would work for my laptop ?

It should, but you may want to consider another option - replace the hard drive with a solid state drive. It'll boost the system performance appreciably. You can find first-tier 500G SSDs at around the $120-150 price point these days (Samsung, Intel, Micron/Crucial).
