Inspiron Hard Drive Errors

My Inspiron 4110 just went black and froze up.  Upon reboot, windows failed to start with several system files showing as corrupt.  I then ran the diagnostics from the boot menu and the disk test failed with Error Code 2000-0151.  A subsequent run of chkdsk shows a very large number of invalid clusters.  I am assuming that the hard drive has crashed.  Since this is still under warranty,  what must I do to replace the drive?

Any assistance will be gladly appreciated,

Call Dell support with the error code - they will arrange a drive replacement.  The hard drive in this model is not customer-replaceable (it's located under the system board, which must be removed to change the drive), so Dell will either do a depot repair (you send the system in to Dell) or an onsite repair (they dispatch a technician) depending on the warranty you purchased with the system.
