Hi guys,
I have been wandering around the forums for a few hours now looking for ana answer to this question and can't seem to find anything clear.
I have an XPS 8100 that I have run diagnostics on and have received a 2000-0142 error code which says
MSG: error code 2000-0142
Hard drive FAIL 0 self test
Status: 79
I think based on what I am reading throughout the forum is that this is a drive failure and the only recourse is to fix the issue is to replace the drive. Firstly can somebody please give me an absolute confirmation that this is indeed what I need to do, or is there something else I should be doing to repair this issue first?
If a drive replacement is what is needed could somebody please tell me how I can go about getting my OEM software off the recovery partition and onto my new drive. I have pre-installed office suite and of course windows 7 premium which I would like to carry over to my new hdd and I was not supplied with any of the discs at the time of purchase.
Thank you in advance to all who respond
