There's a couple of reasons that could give this message. The primary is simply hard drive failure and it need replacement. If it's an ssd you can still get the message even if it's read by the bios and OS, but the ssd is no longer reliable (happened to myself).
Check your wire connections and if the problem persists pull the drive out and scan it in a cradle with a different PC if your machine won't boot and you're unable to install a HDD health scan program.
Any external HDD casing will do, just take it apart and remove the OEM drive and put the drive you wan't to look at in the cradle and connect it with the USB and run a HDD health scanning program to be certain. (I use HD Sentinel but there are many others)

You may have a damaged hard drive and it needs to be replaced. If the system is still under warranty, Dell will replace the drive free, you just need to go online, supply your systems tag number and follow the instructions from there. If you have just the one drive, you will need to restore the information froma a backup. If you have a RAID set up, once the hard drive is reinstalled, the RAID will sync the drive to the others.
Check if the harddrive is in raid configuration is it Raid 1 or Raid 0. If you are using Raid 1 check which hdd is crashed as might be displayed in error message you can connect new hdd to the port and rebuilt your raid. If single hdd then need to backup data and use new hdd and reinstalled windows.
