this error signifies a bad hard drive; if it's under warranty call Dell support and they will send a new hard drive with your OS preloaded -- it's a pain to change out though. Good luck!
The hard drive is no longer working since detected the error. So I have changed a new hard drive instead. It's a hardware problem, the BIOS cannot find it so that I even cannot reinstall Windows. Now it's working fine after replaced a new hard drive since then.
I also received that error, but the hard drive was failing because the bios settings had somehow changed so it wasn't reading the drive properly. The bios setting had been changed from a SATA drive to an AHCI sata. I changed the settings, deleted all partitions and started from scratch. It's been running just fine ever since.
Hey i was wondering how much did the hard drive cost?how much was the installation get back at me please ,i have the same problem with my DELL Inspirion thank you please get back at me.I want to know how much did it cost to fix?
Hi! Did you mean that your new hard drive is a blank drive. It needs mounting hardware of the old drive and an OS loaded before use but my Dell inspiron 1545 hard drive was completely damage. I have Laptop Hard drive error just like yours HD error 2000-0146 but different modell number. Could you helpe me how to mount hardware and load OS before i use?
hai i am getting 0146 error, recently i formatted my 500 gb hard disk n re-installed windows 7,but right now my hard disk is running fine. how to slove this error.( my laptop is dell studio 1558)
Primero, restablezca la BIOS a la configuración de fábrica e intente nuevamente. Si aún aparece el error, el disco duro ya no funciona desde que detectó el error. Así que he cambiado un nuevo disco duro en su lugar. Es un problema de hardware, el BIOS no puede encontrarlo, por lo que ni siquiera puedo reinstalar Windows. Ahora está funcionando bien después de reemplazar un nuevo disco duro desde entonces.
My computer happens the same as this video, but my computer can't even re-install any windows. however, i have already solved it without buy new hard drive.
@@xeepeshgaming4919 I install linux mint and then back install window. where is this idea come from? first, i just want run linux live in USB in order to copy some important files only. then I just try idea above. and help me alot. thanks
how to fix this please let me know....you have just shown me the same thing ..i am facing the problem give me solution..don't show me the problem heree..please..
i recieved a laptop to repair, and the message was "Bootmgr missing, press ctrl+alt+del to restart". i ran diagnostics, and got faulty drive error 0146. i replaced the hard drive, attempted to boot from usb, and still the error. why i get this error with new drive? it is brand new, and not even partitioned yet. dell is garbage.
Its not dell. The error means the hard drive is fried meaning you didnt ground yourself before installing the new one or thought you grounded your self properly when infact you did not. Thus you fried it from your own static electricity. Don't feel bad though it happens to the best of us. A very informative video that I highly advise watching which clears up a lot of bullshit information on the internet incase you was misinformed on anything, sadly I doubt youll even see this comment. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uBN8p3GFqhg.html
