Hello Dell...

Then I checked all the system by using PC checkup dell and i found disk failure on my wdc wd7500bpvt. I marked that my "targeted read test is failed". Here i gave my detailed. Can you try solve my problem.

Thank you.

Press F12 at powerup, boot to the Dell diagnostics and run an extended hard drive test.  If you see an error code in the form 2000-0142 or -0146, the hard drive has failed - if you're under warranty, report it to Dell and they'll replace the drive.  If the system is out of warranty, you can use any standard 2.5" 9.5 mm or slimmer SATA notebook drive to replace the failed unit.

Depending on the model, the hard drive may be user-replaceable.  If you have to send it in, 7-10 business days.
