Allllllrighty
I have a dell xps630i and I haven’t had any trouble out of it at all. Until I installed a RangePlus Wireless PCI Adapter.
I’ve had several years of experience with computer repair and upgrading and I’m 100% positive my putting it in didn’t break anything…
Now my operating system wont load. When I go to boot it , it tells me "Windows failed to start, a new software or hardware change could be the problem". When I run a diagnostic test on it , it gives me error number 0F00:021B saying something about a flaw in media or error in recorded data.
My computer has been acting a little funny about a day or two before this actually came up.
What should I do?

I have found conflicting solutions. Both links are from Dell.
Have you tried to remove the new pci card and see what happens.
Was the diagnostic test you ran done on the hard drive or on the whole computer.?
If the error was from HD diagnostic is there any info on the drive makers website explaining the error code?
Good luck
