Hi Ricky,
That error pertains to one of the partitions on the hard drive and is a likely sign that your hard drive has died. HOWEVER, it does not mean the files cannot be retrieved. Many times they can.
So let's start with the model of your daughters PC and operating system.
By the way, I see you've posted in a couple old threads. Let's keep the conversation going here so I don't lose track, if that's ok.

Ricky,
That message is not a problem. It just means you had no disc in the DVD drive to perform the test. Don't worry about it.
I believe your system model is a Dimension 9150. Let me refer you to this article for help with that error, which you may be able to fix. However, it may be necessary to run the OS restore utility, which would delete any files. If there are critical files from that hard drive, you might need to connect it to another computer to get them.
I'm going to edit your subject to make it more descriptive. Hope you don't mind.
