Googling the error code might lead you toward the issue.

You can usually download a diagnostic program from the HDD manufacturer that you can burn to a CD and boot the computer from the CD. The program can then test the HDD without having to boot to Windows.

Sometimes the laptop manufacturer will have something similar to test all hardware. Dell usually does anyway.

If you torrent, you can also download the OEM Windows install disc ISO, burn it to DVD and try a repair.
