Inspiron 1721

My laptop was sitting and no one was using it. I glanced at it and it was showing an error so ran diag and got error code 0141. Got it to boot into windows. Restarted and ran diag again and got error coed 0146. Can someone please tell what these codes mean? Is my hard drive on the way to the bone yard??? Thanks for looking and the assistance.

    If the first four digits are 2000, then yes - the hard drive is bad.

    dang I was afraid you would say that. Both codes had the 2000 in front. So does this mean that it is just starting to go bad? I am still using the computer which what I am on now. Thanks.

    The hard drive is clearly faulty - replace it soon, or you will not have a working system.
