The drive is toast. Dell may be able to supply a loaded replacement, but your data is pretty much gone. I would suggest a backup plan for critical data in the future. External hard drives are really cheap and really large these days.

I realize that you're new here, but you should start your own thread instead of resurrecting old ones. You will get quicker help that way.

If you would prefer to restore yourself, here's a good, cheap 120GB drive:

Newegg.com - HITACHI Travelstar 5K160 HTS541612J9AT00 (0A28418) 120GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache ATA-6 Notebook Hard Drive - Laptop Hard Drives
