Hardware twsting msg ??

That means the bearings on the drive are shot. Time for a new one.

My computer did boot up to the desktop, but was completely unresponsive from there when trying to open anything. I ran a system diagnostics and got this error with the status byte of 70. I rebooted into Safe Mode and was then able to open files. I backed up my stuff to a flash drive and then ran Error-Checking in the HD Properties which runs the CHKDSK function the next time the computer is rebooted. That found 2 bad file clusters and repaired them. One was a file called Windows.edb, which does the hard drive search indexing for Windows and was most likely my problem with the lockups. The other was a Napinsp.dll file. After these were fixed and the computer was rebooted, everything worked normally.
This HD is only 9 months old, but if this happens again, I'll replace it again.

vga driver or directx 9 not installed or curropt

2000-0142 and 2000-0146 are hard drive SMART errors, indicating the HDD will fail.
To boot message about the AC adapter was a BIOS level message that normally appears when a Auto/air ac adapter or other 65 watt ac adapter is used to power the system.

Hi,

Sounds like software problem. Error on extracting the file from the recovery cd to the hard drive. But to make sure, run a diagnostic test for the hard drive if the recovery cd includes that option, if not, try another recovery cd.

Hope this helps.

Ok well I have a Dell Inspion 1525 and I have been having problems with it the last little while so I ran a diagnoses tests and I got this:

Error: 0142
Msg: Error code 2000-0142
Msg. Hard drive 1- self test unsuccessful status: 79

Just wondering what exactly it is, and how to fix the problem?
Or if I have to reformat my whole computer

Code 0146 is hard drive read/write failure.

Replace the hard disk drive

the error: (Under this test, results show Error code 5300: 0119, which different comments for different parameters) Msg: Detected a failure while writing and reading video memory. (e.g.) Video mode: Dh (320 x 200 16) Address A002Ch, expected to read Oh, but read 1Dh instead *

indicates the video card has failed and need to be replaced.

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.
