Thanks for that. so that means i will have to connect to an external H/drive and try using it from there? Please if you don't mind telling how to go about in inserting the hard drive is it before switching my PC on or off.... also is it possible to use a desk top hard drive? as at the moment i do not have a portable external H/drive.

If the internal drive is bad, you will need to replace it.

To confirm the most likely cause (a faulty hard drive) power up, press F12, boot to the Dell diagnostics and run an extended hard drive test.
