Error code 2000-0142 usually indicates a failing/failed hard drive, first try removing and reinstalling the Hard Drive, then rerun the diagnostics and see if you receive the same error.
If the same error is received, the hard drive has failed, then you need to replace it.
If you have a Dell warranty in effect, contact Dell's Technical Support for a replacement Hard drive.
Very strange - I just received the same error code. I have an Alienware Aurora-R4 that suddenly stopped working. I came to this blog to see if there were any answers - and found someone with the same error - a little odd.
I'd also be interested in a reply from Dell or a guru ... [Admin Note: Personal Information Removed]
