Hard Disk 1 Quick Test Failure

You will need to install a new hard drive and reinstall the operating system.

Here is a video for how to remove the hard drive in for the HP 500 model series...

Replace the Hard Drive | HP Pavilion 500-200 Desktop PCs | HP - YouTube

The product specs for your PC indicate that it originally came with Windows 8.

If you let me know what operating system you had installed at the time of the disk failure, I will give you a way to either reinstall W8.1 or W10 for free on the new drive.

hi

This is a macro, recorded answer, read the following carefully, and see according to your own problem.
If you have any doubts, ask me, I will try to answer the best
you have an error message, or a problem with the hard drive (or SSD)
this indicates that your hard drive is certainly damaged
Depending on the error, and its condition, it may fail anytime.
maybe it doesn't work anymore
First of all, you can try to recover personal data

 Once your data has been saved
You can either follow the following or buy a new hard drive directly!
What I am indicating now is just a rescue option
If it works, it will be temporary, back up your data regularly
depending on the hard drive condition, it may work a good time
but the hard drive may fail permanently
it is mainly in order to be able to use the computer, the time to replace the system disk
be careful because the goal is to erase the hard drive, your unsaved data will be lost
so you have to reinstall the computer completely
There are several methods, depending on the installed windows system and your computer

Try a full reinstall
