It means the hard drive is dying and needs to be replaced. Use the HP Recovery program to burn recovery DVDs while you still can and back up your important data.

Not really. A bad hard drive is not trustworthy and needs to be replaced. There are some programs that claim to "fix" hard drives but if you believe that I have some Florida real estate I want to sell you. Even with that software it means wiping the drive clean, running the program for hours or days and then restoring the data. Might as well buy a new drive.
