Perhaps Monkey virus?  I've seen it do similar things, being that it
will actually move the MBR, and if it's lost, you're screwed.  But, if
not, then it's your fat, and if it is unreliable, have Dell replace
the drive.  But, you're gonna have to re-install all of your
software--Dell, like other OEM's, doesn't replace factory installed
software on hard drives that are shipped out after the first 30 days
or so.
