    Here are a couple of links that could save you :

    Dell Inspiron 1545 - Won't boot. Error code 2000-1042. Any fix?

    Another solution although it maybe the same program you used, perhaps incorrectly or should be used with the disk in the original laptop :

    VERY'VERY,VERY GOOD NEWS

    if you have the message

    'The disk in drive F is not formatted. Do you want to format it now? … '

    you already have a solution

    1- DON'T format the drive ...

    2- WATCHES this Web (www.cgsecurity.org)

    ...and download “testdisk” for your operating system of “main page”..read everything very well before using it…

    I had that same problem and this free software solves it in minutes …

    HAVE LUCK AND SHARES THE INFORMATION

    greetings dino
