@MichaelTutolo Welcome to HP Community!
I understand that you are getting a hard disk error.
Please perform the hard drive test and check.
1. Power off the PC and make sure that it is completely powered off.
2. Press the power button and the moment you press the power button immediately start tapping F2 key, you should see the system diagnostics screen.
3. Look for the component test, under that all the hardware will be listed, please choose Hard drive and initiate the quick test.
Note: If it fails it will generate a 24 digits alphanumeric failure id, please capture that.
Please refer to the below link to troubleshoot the issue.
