Laptop Inspiron 8100 Hard Disk crashes?

[jordanjames23]

I was on my laptop, Inspiron 8100, and everything was fine, no errors or anything. Took a break and when I came back my computer had a black screen. I tried to restart and it goes to the dell load page and windows Vista page but that’s it. It goes back and forth between the two pages. A blue screen pops up between them for about half a second. I took a picture of it so I could read it, the error code is 0x000000ed. After this when I restarted my laptop it showed me disk boot failure. Every time I tried to recover the HDD I failed and got the same message.

Je sais pas si c'était bien malin de mettre Vista sur un i8100... Ce portable a bien 5 ou 6 ans, c'est un portable à base de Pentium 3 et DirectX 7 au mieux.

You should take your HDD in a USB-to-IDE box in case to save your datas with an other computer.
If you can save your datas : Format and Reinstall...
If you cannot : The HDD is probably dead.
