The disk-drive is "failing". The only solution is to replace it with a new HDD/SSD, and re-install Windows.

HP PCs - SMART hard disk error 301, 302, 309, 30C, 3F1, 3F2

If you receive this error message, perform the following actions:

  1. Immediately back up all important data and files. While the SMART hard disk error might not indicate the imminent loss of the hard disk, it is best to be prepared, just in case the disk does fail.

You can try several things in order to try to recover your data

You can try a bootable cd / dvd type live cd (linux)

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

You can try to help yourself with this tutorial (sorry not fully translated)
