Hi

Yes, check data and power connections to your HDD.

Good connections usually means the HDD has failed.

You can run HP boot time hardware diagnostics to confirm this.

PXE ==> Pre eXecution Environment.

Usually, computers boot from the disk-drive, or the CD/DVD device, or from a USB stick, as defined by the "boot order" setting.

Your computer is trying to connect, over your network connection, trying both the IP-V-4 and the IP-V-6 protocols,

to a "boot-server" on your network.

Presumably, if your "boot order" is correct, your computer has tried all the "higher-priority" choices, and now is trying the "lowest-priority" choice.

Note that a "boot-server" typically exists only in a "corporate" environment, not a "home network" environment.

Unless your motherboard is not retaining your selected boot-order, maybe to a dead "coin-sized" battery on the motherboard, your computer should boot from your disk-drive, if it has not "failed".

Some motherboards have a start-up option like "temporarily change the boot-order", to make a one-time, non-permanent, change in the boot order, to select from the available boot sources.  Does yours?

Can you remove the disk-drive, and connect it as a secondary disk-drive in some other computer, to see if it can be accessed?

Note that the disk-drive can be "physically" OK -- responds correctly to all read/write requests, but the "file-system" stored on the disk-drive can be a hot mess, such that the "boot-blocks" are not present, or have been overlaid.
