My Dell Inspiron laptop is showing the following error:
dell error code 0f00:0244Â Seems like the Hard disk has failed.
Can anyone kindly tell me how to recover my data and the operating system as WIn XP came pre-installed on my DELL laptop & they did not give me a Win XP CD.?
‘ERROR MESSAGE’ ‘Dell error code 0f00:0244. It is not hard disk failure.’
This error is not the failure of hard disk / hard drive. It seems that the motherboard or system board encounters some trouble. By the way, does the blue screen appear?
And you could conduct a parallel installation that the existing operating system is over-ridden and another operating system is installed, the data could then be recovered.
You shall use an external hard drive enclosure to do parallel installation and the data will be retrieved and stored on that external hard drive. Then plug the external drive into another computer and copy all data. After re-installing Windows XP, the data could be transferred back to the laptop
I hope this would help to solve your problem. And please be reminded that future precautions are necessary.
Hmmmmmm..!!!!!! you don’t have a big issue only what you need to do is follow the these instructions..
You did caused your hard drive to fail the hard drive needs to be replaced. Hard drives are designed for a five year lifespan but that’s only a design target they’ll run a lot less time in a system that’s overheating, and they’ll fail much more quickly if the system is subject to drops, bumps, or vibration . What you need is a dell windows cd and if you do not have one then visit this link to grab one.
HOPE this will help you to settle down your problem……
