error code 0f00:0244 Is this an error with the math coprocessor (0f00)
The Scoop:
My room mate has a Dell Inspiron 1100 that runs Windows XP for an OS. The faceplate keeping the keyboard is off and the keyboard is able to come off. My room mate ran a program last night called symptom tree, a diagnostic program that he had in his CD ROM drive. It was checking the IDE disk, the read test. Suddenly, a window pops up with an error message:
Uncorrectable data error or media is write protected
error code 0f00:0244 Msg. block 33273035
If I am not mistaken, isn't 0f00 the math coprocessor? I am only beginning in IT professionalism. Please tell me what's going on. From all the message boards I haven't found out what this error code is. Some have come close but all they say is to replace the hard drive. Should I advise him to do that or what?
thanks

If you were performing an IDE diagnostic test, and an error message like this was displayed, it sounds like there may be a bad sector on the hard drive.
FYI-It is almost unheard of to run into a math co-processor error.
