she had vista a while ago but I took it off and put xp because she wasnt used to vista and vista was running SLOW on it... when I installed xp it seemed to speed it up0
-
diagnostics still failed.. its error 0146 according to the dell forums where other users had this problem .. the hd needs replacing0

If you haven't wiped it, there should be a restore partition with vista on, you might want to backup that with disk imaging software if you don't have a vista disc.
If it's working currently, don't see the point in replacing it yet, unless the data on it is critical!!

The only things she wanted was her pics which I have managed to save because when it was playing up before I backed them up...
She only uses the laptop for the internet really, I think I will change the hd for her .. cheaper than buying a new laptop thanks for ur help
