1st, don't use all CAPS as it is hard to read & is considered yelling.

An uncorrectable media error generally means there is a fatal flaw in the drive & it will need replacement.  If you can still boot to the drive, I'd suggest you backup your data immediately.  Once you've saved your data (you have to do it, Dell will not) call Dell & get the drive replaced.

Restart your comp press ctrl+ALt+D when you see dell(www.dell.com) on the screen this will run the 90-90 hdd diagnostic test . IF you get any error code apart from test passed keep the test results on the screen and then call tech support youll get a hdd replacement dispateched to you Asap "if" your comps under warranty
