Hard drive Diagnostics problem (Error Code: 2000-0142) Laptop

So I got the following error:

Error code: 2000-0142

Validation: 75192

Msg: Hard drive 0 - S/N S0V5YG8T, Short self test unsuccessful.

Technical support will need this information to diagnose the problem. Please record the above Error and Validation codes.

Do you want to continue testing?

Please tell me I don't have to replace my hard drive... I've purchased this laptop on March 2014, so its barely been 9 months....

My computer was working fine last night, then when I went to turn it on this morning, it got stuck in the "Dell" startup screen, where I entered diagnostics via f12.

Thank you.

    I'm outside of the USA and I've purchased this computer in the Philippines. Is there any chance I could just go to the service center here and have it replaced?

    The hard drive has failed - call Dell with the error and they'll replace the drive under warranty.

    You'll need to contact your reseller.
