error code: 0146
I am using Dell Inspiron with windows 7
SERVICE TAG NO.<ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed per privacy policy>
Express Service Code: <ADMIN NOTE: Express service code removed per privacy policy>
I am in despirate need of help
As, for the last few days my OS isn't working properly, so i decided to do the full system format.
Since my DVD Drive is not in the working condition, so I used the alternative option to format the system through USB drive.
I use the Window 8 Flashed USB to boot the system. The process successfully started. After few minutes It shows the page of my current partition including the recovery drive. I decided to delete all the current partition(including the recovery drive) and recreate the new partition.
Then, I move foreword to installation windows page but the process stuck at 0%.
After that I have also done the diagnostics process, it shows the error :
error code: 0146
Msg: Error code: 2000-0146
Msg: Hard drive 1: Self test log contains previous e-mail.
I tried repeating the same above process many time but it always stuck at one place or another.
I would really appreciate your help and consideration.
Thanks in advance !

Unplug the system, remove the battery and hold the power button for 30 sec. Restart the system, enter the diagnostics and run the hard drive test again - if you see the same error, replace the hard drive, which has failed.
