WHAT DOES THE CODE MEANS FOR THE HARD DISK SHORT DST FAILED?

Hi:

 

The code means that you will need to install a new hard drive and reinstall the operating system.

 

Below is the link to the service manual.

A "short" test does not take much time to check the "health" of the disk-drive.

If that test "fails", do not run the "long" test, because that is an extensive test, that might consume any "residual" health remaining in the disk-drive, thus "killing" your disk-drive.

 

I would purchase a new disk-drive, preferably a  much-faster SSD (Solid State Device), and use free software, such as "Macrium Reflect" to make a "clone" of the current disk-drive.  Then, boot from the new disk-drive, after "retiring" the current disk-drive.
