Disk Self Test stuck at 10%

I ran a DST and the Long Drive Test stopped at 10%. The same happens on a shoirt drive test. What does it mean?

Hi
First:- Turn off the computer, press and hold the PWR button for 4 seconds.

Then - Leave only keyboard and mouse connected, disconnect all externally connected
devices such as Docking Station, USB storage devices, displays, and printers.
Unplug the AC adapter from the computer.

Next - Press and Hold the Power button for 15 seconds to Hard Reset.
Rinse and Repeat

If it was this test (24 character error code generated)...
Power on your PC, press Esc (repeatedly), then F2 at the prompt.
Choose System Tests (Fast Test does a 4 minute hardware check).

Then I suggest you need a new HDD and the use of your BACKUPS and Recovery Media.

If in doubt please ask.
