dst short test failed error code 2000-01-46
I have a Dell Inspiron E1505. I ran a diagnostic systems test and received error code 2000-01-46. When I called Dell solution station, he said my hard drive is fine and I needed to buy a one year warranty for $239.00 that will fix all my software problems. He never told me what the error code 2000-01-46 means. Can someone tell me what the problem is & how to fix it without spending $239.00?

Hi Cosettelily,
Run the Dell diagnostics from your drivers and utilities disc, but test just the hard drive. To test your hard drive using your Dell Drivers and Utilities disc:
1. Reboot your system. When you see the Dell logo, hit F12 to enter the boot menu.
2. Insert the Dell Drivers and Utilities disc in your CD/DVD drive.
3. Pick the option to boot from the CD/DVD drive.
4. You will be prompted to hit any key to continue booting from the CD/DVD drive.
5. You will be prompted to hit 1 to run the Dell diagnostics. You may see two such menus.
6. Select Test System.
7. Select Custom Test.
7. Use the arrow keys or mouse to select your hard drive.
9. Click Run Tests.
10. Write down any error messages.

The hard drive showing Error Code 0F00:0244 errors is failing/failed and you need to replace it.
Backup any files and folders you wish to save, to other media, ASAP.
