I was on my laptop, Inspiron 8100, and everything was fine, no errors or anything. Took a break and when i came back my computer had a black screen. I tried to restart and it goes to the dell load page and windows xp pro page but thats it. It goes back and forth between the two pages. A blue screen pops up between them for about half a second. I took a picture of it so i could read it, the error code is 0x000000ed. I searched microsoft support for help and everything it told me to try failed. It says something about the volume having 2 unrepairable something or others.
Tried reloading xp and it wont work, wont even repair. i did, however, get it to test some functions…everything passed except the following (this is exactly what my computer said);
IDE Disk 0 – Confidence Test
Status: Fail
Status Code: DOS DDG-D Disk 193 066
Device: IDE_Disk_0
Test: Confidence_Test-Write_Test
Release: 1083 Module(s): Disk
Msg: Block 77358699: Address not found
I have no clue what this means…can you help? Do you know if ill be able to get any of my files off my hard drive?
