i have a problem in my hard drive 1 , incorrect status = 8 , all of this because of android emulator -_- the emulator was working in backend i couldn't stop it or even delet the *.lock files , so usually when i have this problem i shut my computer and wait till the battery gets 0% when i start it everything is fine , but yesterday instead of shutting the computer i clicked restart and now i have this problem .
my windows is booting , i have the screen of my desktop but not the files , besides i can't click on icons like windows icon and others cuz it still running , what should i do in this case

If you don't have a backup, you'll also need to weigh the cost of data recovery against the value of the data. There's nothing you can do with a drive the system can't see (which is what that error indicates), but there are data recovery services that can work wonders. A basic recovery without a lot of manual intervention will run in the $500-600 range, but if the drive is severely damaged, it can easily escalate well into four figures.
That error indicates an "incorrect status" of your optical drive. I suggest you run the Dell diagnostics on your drive. To test your CD/DVD drive from the utility partition:
1. Reboot your system. When you see the Dell logo, hit F12 to enter the boot menu.
2. Select Boot to utility partition.
3. Select Test System.
4. Select Custom Test.
5. Use the arrow keys or mouse to select your CD/DVD drive.
