Do HDD really go bad..?
Note: Since I just got the DST 1000-0141 error when running the self-test on my laptop: This code apparently may also just mean that the HD does not contain Dell's hidden "diagnostics" partition. (Which I didn't create on my brand new replacement HD. So depending on the context this may not actually point to a HW issue at all.)
then why not ask dell.com this, they have great forum why ask here. and is 6 years late your answer, all this is in the manual if you can read.1000 0141
the PC is a relic, now, and the old hdd has special blade connector, and if not fitted the hdd will be dead.
these hdd are not standard.
and uses this blade adpater
if not connected the hDD will be dead.
141 means
HDD 100% bad.
or not connected
inspect the connnection carefully,
if the hdd is silent it is bad.
if the hdd is clicks loudly it is bad.
if the DTS fails it is bad.
easy no? and more ask we can test any HDD in docking SATA drive box.

Buy a new hard drive and clone your existing drive to it.The drive is headed for failure
Getoff is wrong, you can not clone bad hdd data to any new drive, ever. it's silly to try.
it's not headed to, it is for sure bad.
if the SMART tests fail, the drive is bad.
end story there.
the next that to do is try go back up data, from the old drive, expect data loss..
then buy new drive
and load the OS fresh
there is no other way.
And cloning XP 6 to 18 years ago is even more nutz, XP is virus magnet.(extreme)
Put w10-32 bit on it, even runs on Dell D520 here. (with correct CPU)
w10-32b
Can ever run on 2004 PC, 4GB mem. best.
eg: Pentium 4, P- 520J E0 stepping on up.
that is the oldest that runs 32bit W10, have proof, and Celerons, mostly not that era.
the P4 that oldest that runs w10-64bit
is: P4 HT 531 up, G1 Prescott.
June 2005 released. yes this old and 5x1 all work. I have here 551 running 64bit ! w10

Hi,
The short DST test is generally the failure of the HDD,It would giive you code next to it , that would something like 1000-0146,or 1000-0141 etc. Do give that code and I would let you know the exact failure
Thanks

It appears your hard disk has died and it may not be possible for you to retrieve your data.
Remove your hard drive from the laptop and insert it into an USB harddrive adapter, (they are not expensive and you can use it later as a external hard drive). Then plug it into the USB port of a working computer. The computer should/may see it as an external drive, if you are lucky you will be able to copy your data, if not, you are out of luck.
There are companies that can recover data from faulty hard drives, but it will cost you an arm and a leg for their service.

you might have jarred the memory loose. take it to a local technician to have them check it out.
SOURCE: My Dell Latitude D830 will not boot up?
Your boot up needs to be repaired...follow the following repair and you should get booted back up. I do believe however that you are losing your hard drive, so watch it carefully and think about getting a backup for your files.
Windows Start-up Errors
Step one, you need a Windows XP CD. If you only have a recovery disk set like the ones from HP or Compaq they will not do what you need done. Under normal circumstances however, you can use a Dell disk because the Operating system is on a stand-alone disk. All retail versions are also acceptable as well as upgrade disks. For a rule of thumb, if the disk has the Microsoft hologram it should work. You can order a boot up floppy disk from here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310994 with this file, if you know how, you can use “ImageBurn” to burn the file into an ISO file which can be burned to a disk. Now make sure your computer boots to the cd rom first. If you know how to do this skip on down, if you don’t, while the computer is first starting up and you see the manufacturers splash screen, tap F12 (some computers it’s F9, others it may be another key, you may have to watch and see if the computer lists the key strokes for getting to the boot menu. If you still cannot find it, boot into the BIOS settings and change your boot order there. Save your settings and exit, the computer will now seek the cd rom as its boot source first.
Place your Windows disk in the computer and start it up. When you see the test at the top of the page “Press Any Key To Boot From CD” Just hit the space bar to activate. The next screen you will see will most likely be a Windows setup screen, when you see this press the “R” key to get to the recovery console. It will get there, it may take a little time, patience. Once it loads you will be given a choice of Windows installations, there should only be one, if there are more, always pick number one. It may ask for an administrators password, if you have not set this particular password, then just leave it blank and press enter. The next prompt you see is:
C:\Windows>
You need to type the following:
cd \
hit enter. Pay close attention to the spacing between the characters. There is a space between the character “d” and the “\”
You are now at the ROOT of the drive, this is where basic commands can be given and changed. You should now see the following:
C:\>
Now type the following:
CHKDSK /R
Hit the enter key.
The chkdsk /r command also includes the P command and will also look for lost recoverable information in bad sectors.
There are occasions depending on how corrupt the system is, that this process could take several hours, so be patient with it.
Now, after chkdsk has run type the following:
FIXBOOT
Hit the enter key.
It may prompt you with a warning, that’s ok, just continue. When fixboot has finished, type: EXIT hit enter and windows will reboot. When the system reboots, tap the F8 key during this time and you will see the multi-boot menu come up. Scroll to the title “Last Know Good Configuration” and hit the enter key. If you were having some simple drive errors this should have fixed them.
