Hard Drive Error Codes

Can any one tell me what these 2 error codes mean?  0F00:0242  and 0F00:1A42?
My Diminsion 3000 kept freezing up, so I ran the dell diagnostic and utilities test and got those 2 error codes.
So I then formatted the hard drive and ran the diagnostic test again and got the same 2 error codes.

The results are telling you it's time to replace the drive. Since your system was still running "sort of", you may be able to get the data off, but don't try this until you install the new drive. Once the new drive and OS are installed, then try plugging the old drive in and try to get your data.
 
Any internal IDE (ATA-100) drive will work fine. Any size.

The codes refer to the locations of bad sectors on the drive.
