Error Code 2000-01 42 on M4800 - both HardDisks reporting this

Hi,

 

I have a M4800 from about 2015 - top specs and runs s*** hot still! I notice last week that every time I boot my machine up, within 10 minutes I'm getting BSOD - any who after going through the dell diagnostic tool I'm getting the above error which is being reported for BOTH HDD's - I thought maybe the SSD was the issue (as it was a spare one I found at my old work place years ago).

 

I am reluctant to go through the hassle of buying and installing a new SSD with OS and restoring it all back up if this isn't the issue.

 

So my question is - as it is reporting both hard disks with this issue could this be a problem at the motherboard / component? 

 

Error: 2000-01 42

Validation: 155642

Thanks,

Sam

The -0142 error refers to the drive(s), and if they're original to the system, it's not inconceivable they could both be failing.

The design life of a hard drive is five years -- and these have exceeded that at this point.
