Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop/notebook problems... help!?

Question

Ok, I was on my laptop/notebook whatevers politically correct these days. When it went to a blue screen where writing streamed by, and then just shut down...
So I tried to turn it on again, and it just came up with a black screen telling me it had failed to start, and i should press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart. So i did... about 9 times, to no avail.
So, i restarted and pressed F12 and did a diagnostic test. Where I got 4 Error codes that were 00F0:1344, 2 Error codes that were 00F0:1340, these 6 were in the Confidence Test, Also with the messages either (Uncorrectable data error or media is write protected) or (Address mark not found or media error). In the S.M.A.R.T. test I got error code 0F00:065D with the message (IDE device failed) and (The self test failed the read portion of the test). And 0F00:137B (IDE device failed) and (Blank media or no media is present in optical drive. Test requires media with data, (resource CD, Instalation CD).

After that test i tried to reboot again. And now whenever i start up the laptop/notebook, I get 2 loud beeps and it says...
'Read failure on internal hard drive

No bootable devices--strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility
Press F5 to run onboard diagnostics.'

Any help would be wonderful thanks.
Oh and i tried to reinstal the OS (Windows Vista), and it told me it couldn't.
