DST Error (1000-0146) Ok, i tuned my laptop off on friday night, came back saturday morning turned it on, and it displayed the DELL screen (F2, and F12 button displayed) then a black screen comes with a blinking cursor at the top left corner and nothing boots up...I tried reinstalling the OS (xp) didnt work, tried repairing it (well not sure how it takes me to DOS) I ran the chkdsk /r it had bad sectors and says it repaired it, yet still nothing, i put a portable hard drive in and tried to install windows on the new hard drive, it recoginzed the drive, created a D:\windows\ directory but during the installation when the computer reboots, did NOT go past that blinking cursor again..please help... when i was in the recovery DOS, i was able to browse thu the hard drive, all my files are there, that is what i want to do is copy my personal files, they are all there, but i cannot COPY *.* using DOS, it wont allow me to use wildcards, i was able to copy a certain file for instance, i do not want to format the hard drive before i get my files from it... what i think it is, its not booting past the BIOS stage, when i ran the diagnostics, DST SHORT STATUS TEST 1000-0142 error appeared, when i ran the DELL Resources CD Diagnostics (not the windows xp cd) and i tested the HArd drive READ, some sectors had erors...and couldnt repair... I just want my files and i can buy a new hard drive after that... please help.... Thank you
