Error Code 0F00:0244
Well i got the Error Code 0F00:0244 message when i ran the diagnostic test on my HD. I already called Dell and they are sending a new HD to me but its towards the end of the semester at my school and im completely done. Does anyone know how to force a boot from windows operating Cd to do a repair because its not booting from Cd. Anyway any help would be greatly appreciated.
- You don't. You CAN reformat, which will lock out the bad spot, but they'll keep popping up until the drive is no longer useable; that may take 2 hours, 2 days or months, but the drive will eventually completely fail.
You need a new hard drive, plain and simple.

0F00-0244 is a read test error so your hard drive has some blocks that it isnt reading.
You can try the repair but you couldnt be 100% that will work.
