    Failed pre boot assessment

    My laptop takes super long to boot then a long time to open anything so I ran the "pre boot system assessment build 4111" and after passing most of the test I got this:
    **hard drive-DST short test**
    Test results:fail
    Error code 2000-0142
    MSG: hard drive 1-self test unsuccessful. Status:79

    It's a dell studio with windows 7
    Thank you very much!

    You need to replace your hard drive and reinstall Windows.

    Thank you. I still have the disks that came with the laptop. Do you think I can buy a new hard drive and use those disks?
    Thanks a lot!

    Yes. That's what you would need to do.
