Hi guys, during a driver testing on DELL's web the laptop suddenly restarted and a dead screen had shown up, there was this message: "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just collecting some error info and we'll restart for you" then the diagnostics center opened up and showed me this message
Error Code 2000-0151
Validation 125078
Msg: hard drive 0 - S/N BTLT703101 V8256HGN, incorrect status = 3E
At one of the times I restarted by my self, the desktop didn't come up and the message "Hard drive driver is not installed"
Laptop model: Inspiron 15 5567, bought it less than a year.
If the drive is not recognized, it may be possible to recover the data - but you'll need data recovery to do it, and that's not inexpensive. Figure on $600 to start -- Gillware is a very reputable, reasonably-priced service.

The hard drive has failed. Since the system is under warranty, contact Dell with the error and validation code and they'll replace the drive.
