no error codes

I have run SupportDiagnostic several times and get the message

Hardware Scan Result (Manual) - Hard Drive - Failed -

With no error code given, how should this be interpreted?

    If the drive has completely failed it cannot scan it to give a specific error code. Replace the hard drive.

    Run the Dell hardware diagnostics - F12 before Windows loads.

    If the system is under warranty, record the numeric error AND the validation code - you'll need both to arrange warranty repair.

    If the system is out of warranty, post the model number and someone can point you toward a replacement drive.
