Hello guys,
I have a Dell Inspiron 15 n5050 with windows 7. I can't start windows, and every time I try I get a bluescreen and it restarts (normal and safe mode). I tried the repair mode too, but it takes forever and then it just stays on the same page for hours doing nothing.
I also ran the diagnose mode and everything is okay but my hdd. I get this:
Error code 2000-0151
Validation: 48888
Msg: Hard Drive 0 - S/N J2160051EKMG6D, incorrect status = 3E
I booted from a usb with Linux and SMART says that disk failure is imminent, it had being saying it always so I thought it was a bug or something lol anyway I can access the hdd from Linux and I've already backed up the important things.
I guess my question would be what choices do I have :)
Thanks in advance
Edit: I did some research before posting and everybody who had that error was told to replace it, but also the hdd didn't appear anywhere, so I just wanted to check if perhaps I was special lol
