Trouble with hard drive 0

[aliepalie]

Hello everyone,
2 weeks ago one of my hard drives crashed and because of that I bought two this time (one as a backup). This week I've been having trouble with my display driver; it keeps freezing, and at some point there's nothing I can do but force shut down.
When I start up my laptop it keeps rebooting, some times it does start up, and at other times it gets stuck in a contant loop. I ran diagnostics and my hard drive 0 self test failed. The error code was 2000-01 42. Does this mean the issues with my display are because of a failing hard drive?
Also, which one is my drive 0? I have 2 drives which work fine.

Thank you in advance

2 failed HDD? maybe it your laptop. How old it is? What the make and model?

I have a Dell Inspiron 17r (I think an) N0017S16 and this year I will have it 3 years.

I am re-installing NVIDIA right now, since I had some display issues as well, the computer doesn't freeze right now, and the startup went well too..

had that happen to a customer's tower, ended up it was the sata controller on the motherboard going bad as the ide worked ok with no problems.
