It looks like you disk drive is going bad.  Try running HP diagnostics by pressing ESC after powering on and see if the disk drive can be repaired.

 

You can try booting windows 11 in repair mode.  You download the ISO (you probably have it already on USB) and after booting you select the option to repair.

 

It is also possible to run the chkdsk application to try a drive repair.  That can be done before windows starts (unlike the scandlisk app)

use the windows 11 iso but instructions are same as 10
