You do not need a new hard drive. You need to take the cd drive out (comes out like a drawer), count to ten and put it back in.

I have dell inspiron1520. When I turn it on it give Missing operating system. Whel I run diagnostics it gives me ``error C0de 0148. What is the problem, and how I can fix it.

Hi.

Error Code 0148 means that the Dell diagnostics has found a problem with the hard drive. It is failing or has already failed.
This means you have to get a new hard drive for the laptop. Once you have a new hard drive and have installed it you can use the recovery disk that you should have got with the laptop to reinstall the operating system.




Regards.

Make sure you fixed the HDD properly..In some cases you need to push a little harder. See if any pins had been bent, if so straighten it, without breaking it.

Dell inspiron 6400 laptop

Both of these are hard drive errors. Error 0146 is a failed hard drive or bad drive sector, and 0148 is that thew machine is no longer detecting the hard drive. Basically, your hard drive has failed and will need replaced. Replace the hard drive and you will be set. The best place I've found to buy hard drives is at pricewatch.com, they have the best prices on the market.
