Unable to load installation media from usb, + Er 2000-0151, Dell Insp
Hi all,
My dell Inspirion froze, and when I tried to reboot I got the endless loading recovery media.
Running diagnosis, I got dell error 2000-0142
Msg: Hard Drive 0 -S/N WXH1E450VAEA, Short self test unsuccessful.
I loaded up my USB Win10 install, however it would not let me install it on the Harddrive, and showed the HD as having nothing on it and wouldnt let me format it as well.
One of my techie relatives had a look and has given me a new Hardive, however when I load up my usb install and select 64 bit on the win install it just takes me to a blank screen.
A normal restart just leaves the screen on the spinning dell wheel or a blank screen.
Running diagnostics I got Error 2000-151.
I found this:
"It's because the NVMe drivers for our SSD's aren't supported by the BIOS diagnostics utility yet. If you (temporarily) switch the HDD mode to AHCI before running the utility, it will go away. Just be sure you switch back to raid before booting back into your OS."
On another forum, however I have no idea how to do that.
Has anyone been in a similar situation or has any advice:? Much appreciated.
