The hard drive is defective. If this was a new drive that you installed contact the drive manufacturer for warranty service. If it was a used drive, not much you can do but replace it.
If its not the hard drive then it is a hardware problem on the motherboard. However with the age of this model (the Dell manual has a 2010 date) a replacement is a better option than trying to fix this old PC.
There are no soft fixes for PHYSICALLY BAD DRIVES.
Error Code 2000-0151 Hard Drive incorrect status 3E
Smart Predictive Failure
(Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology)
A field study at Google covering over 100,000 consumer-grade drives from December 2005 to August 2006 found correlations between S.M.A.R.T. information and failure rates: In the 60 days following the first uncorrectable 3E error on a drive (S.M.A.R.T. attribute 0xC6 or 198) detected as a result of an offline scan, the drive was, on average, 39 times more likely to fail than a similar drive for which no such error occurred.
