Dell Inspiron 1545 - Won't boot. Error code 2000-1042. Any fix?
I've had my computer for 8 months, it's a dell inspiron 1545 running windows 7 home premium. I'm suddenly unable to start the computer as it just comes up with a blue windows 7 screen with a cursor and that's it. I've tried starting it in normal mode and and startup repair but the same thing happens with both. I ran the diagnostics test and it came up with error code 2000-0142 which after googling i've found is a hard drive problem.
Can anyone help me fix this problem? Will reinstalling windows 7 wipe my hard drive?
I do not know alot about computers so any help would be greatly appreciated!
