Is the following closer to the complete message you received:

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage
to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your
computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in
the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for
driver updates. Try changing video adapters.

Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory
options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe mode to remove
or disable components, restart your computer, pres F8 to select Advanced
Startup options, and then select Safe Mode.

The driver identified is iastor.sys, the driver for the controller on the
motherboard that controls the hard drive. If the problem is the driver
itself, reinstall the Intel driver for the Matrix Storage Manager. Are you
sure the new hard drive is compatable with your model of Dell computer?
