I recently restarted my computer to give it a refresher and when I started it up, my computer would get past the Dell logo then go to a black screen until I restarted, after a few minutes I tried running diagnostics and it said:
Error Code: 2000-0142
Validation 26646
Hard Drive self-test unsuccessful status=7
After googling the results I found that it means my hard drive may be completely fucked basically. Is there a way to fix this at all? Can I transfer my data (1TB hard drive with about 700GB of data on it) to a new 1TB drive?
My other question is this:
I have a backup hard drive (500GB) and I put Win7 on it and started it up and all was great until my router;s firmware wouldn't install. THe only way to get the firmware to install is by getting on the internet, but I can't get on the internet because I have no firmware on it for this hard drive. What do I do? I really need this fixed ASAP!
Thanks in advance for any helpful hints to help me out.
