Your hard drive is probably toast and what you just did is probably pointless.
You should run the EXTENDED Dell Diagnostics on the hard drive - should be one of the choices from F12 menu at bootup.
If you have messed up the hard drive badly, you can download the Diagnostics software from the Dell website, burn it to a CD, boot from the CD (it is bootable), and run the diagnostics.
