    The hard drive failed its self test - replace the drive with a  new one.

    Well I unplugged and plugged back in the hard drive abd then ran SeaTools from Seagate and no errors were found and I have not had any problems for a few days.  I wish there was a listing of the codes from the dell diagnostics so I knew if maybe it was just a cable.
