This also is happening to my pc. but this happened after downloading recommended to bios A10 update in the support section of Dell. really do not like this at all. and now it won't even let me go back to the original bios A07. this is very irritating. any advice would be appreciate

you have to push F2 on restart of computer.  boot sector opens. Scroll down. if you see "Legacy"? Change from Legacy to UEFI. Then push save and exit.

I'm having the same problem on a Dell XPS. After running diagnostics I get the error code 0146, msg: Error Code 2000-0146. Can you help?

Dell's solution for a 2000-0146 error, is the remove and reinstall the hard drive.

No difference, then the hard drive has failed and you need to replace it, followed by reinstalling Windows.

Hi,

Even I had the same error. When I try diagnosis, the error code it displayed is 2000-0146

Please suggest a good solution.

The problem, I think, is with active partition. I may have made active partition inactive using diskpart command. I even don't have windows os to enter repair. Help in solving the issue. Thanks in advance

I use dell inspiron n5010 with windows 7 os
