Error code 2000-151

My laptop has only started in safe mode for the past few months and now it has just completely quit starting up altogether. When I ran diagnostics as specified by another user on here, I got this:

Error code 2000-0151 

Validation 13712

Msg: Hard Drive 0 - S/N WD-WXA1A21J3959, incorrect status = 3E

No additional sense information

What does this mean?

    The hard drive has failed - if the system is under warranty, call Dell with the error and they'll replace the drive.

    If not, you'll need a new, 2.5" 9.5 mm or slimmer SATA notebook drive (available from just about anywhere).  If you did not prepare a set of recovery media when you received the system, you will need to purchase that now, from Dell.
