Dell return Codes?

Question

Hello Everyone,

I am tech and have to manage a butt load of Dell Optiplex workstations (GX1 - GX620). On numerous occasions, I need to run the Dell HD Diagnostics and figure out if the HD is bad. I usually get various DELL return codes but have been unable to locate a document or site that specifies what each return code means. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Every return code I have gotten from that means the hard drive is already bad or is going bad very soon. I'm not sure if there is a list of diagnostic return codes anywhere though.
