Dell Hard Drive Test Error Code 0142
Mar 2009 Posts 2 Dell Error Code 2000-0142 My harddrive failed, I bought a new one and installed it about 4 weeks ago. Everything was fine, until I turned it on and it wouldn't start up, it keep cycling asking me if I wanted to start in safe mode or last good configuration, but would never startup. I ran diagnostics and I got error code 2000-0142. I have a Dell Inspiron E1505. Upon looking up this code all I have found is that the harddrive failed. Is this true? It is a new hdd, and nothing happened to it, or the last one for that matter. Could something internally be causing my harddrives to fail?

HDDs don't like being jolted and because they contain electric motors they also don't like fluctuations in their power supply. It is not quite clear how (or indeed if) bo

dll not being able to load, and then the windows blue screen of death. I thought maybe my machine got too hot, but I tried rebooting after letting it cool off and it didn't do anything after the Dell splash page during the http://continuouslylearning.blogspot.com/2011/07/dell-latitude-diagnostic-error-code.html boot. So I ran a BIOS diagnostic and got the following error: Msg: Error Code 2000-0142 http://bennydesk.com/dell-error-code-2000-0142/ Msg: Unit 1: Drive Self Test Failed Status Byte=77 I called Dell and they basically confirmed what the diagnostic test said - my hard drive was fried. Not wanting to give up on my hard drive that easily, I googled to see what I could do. I discovered I could try to repair windows using the Windows Recovery Console. So I found my Windows hard drive CD and booted from it and went to the Repair option. Once I had entered the Admin password, I got a command prompt and after a bit of searching around I discovered that most of my hard drive seemed to be intact. This, however, was still in the dos prompt of the Windows Recovery Console. I couldn't back up my files to a USB from there. I tried chkdsk, chkdsk /p, and chkdsk /r - those all worked successfully. Yet error code 0142 my machine still wouldn't book. So I preused the list of commands available to the Windows Recovery Console (here) and tried a few more - bootcfg, fixboot, and fixmbr. In the end, it was fixmbr (which repairs the master boot record on the specified disk) that ended up working for me. My laptop is 4 years old now. I removed the battery a couple of months ago, and with problems like this starting to happen, I going to start shopping for a new one. Hopefully this info helps someone out there though.
