The error code refers to a faulty or failed hard drive. You may try the following steps and check whether you can resolve the issue. Run Check disk to repair problems related to bad sectors, lost clusters, cross-linked files, and directory errors:

1. Click Start, and then type cmd in the Start Search box.
2. Right-click cmd in the Programs list, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue.
3. At a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER
chkdsk /f /r X:( drive letter)
4. Press Y when you are prompted to check the disk the next time that the system restarts.
5. Close all applications, and then restart the computer.
If check disk also fails then you may need to get in touch with Dell for more assistance. Take a backup of the drive as soon as possible.

I just bought a new monitor to connect to my Gateway desktop. My work requires me to look at two windows simultaneously and it becomes a bit difficult on a single monitor. So, I'm looking to connect this new monitor to it and get it to display half of the screen along with my old monitor. The problem is, the new monitor is not getting detected. It's a Dell 20" LCD 2009 WP monitor. Any help with this would be appreciated.

I haven\'t been able to print with my HP OFFICE JET 4500 WIRELESS since I exchanged it approx. a month ago. I\'ve had on-line support helping but, to no avail. I now have experienced problems trying to open videos. I received an error message pertaining to 2107 and that the internet has shut down for unexplained reasons. I think it may have to do with drivers? Are the two issues interrelated? ( printer problems and rejection from the internet)

I’m facing problems with the mouse but I have tried changing it and its drivers without much help. The problem is intermittent. Sometimes when I click a word, it highlights it rather than placing the cursor within it. When I try to access a drop-down menu, the menu pops in and pops out quickly. At times, I click on a button and it just gets highlighted and I need to press enter. Any ideas?
