I am truly at my wits end here. I have a Dell XPS 8100 desktop and when I arrived back from vacation my computer was no longer booting up to windows 7. Only the Dell logo then "Starting Windows' without the colorful logo, I have tried the startup repair and no luck, repair would never complete or attempt to repair. I ran a diagnostics and error 2000-0142 came up, corrupted hard drive. I seen a post where this may be repairable but I have no disk to insert since when i bought this off the Dell refurbished warehouse and did not come with one. I am so heartbroken because all of my granddaughters photos were in there and the operating system Windows 7. I know I probably should have put the pics on a thumb drive but I kept putting it off. When the computer is on, it hums constantly. Is there a way to repair the hard drive or is it toast and if so, is there a way to get he operating system & pictures off of it? Thanks in advance.
