SYSTEM EXTENSIVE TEST: FAILED

Please help. From what I have found, I guess my hard drive is failing. I don't understand why, my all-in-one computer is less than 2 years old and I only use it for personal use. Where should I go from here? I don't have much on my computer to back up, and I can't find if there even is an actual back-up. Is the no recovery from this? Please help, I don't know much about computers. Thanks.

@kbritton09, welcome to the forum.

Here is a guide to help you test the hard drive.  If the drive has failed you should replace it with a drive the same size or larger to assure that the Recovery media works properly.  Also, here is the Upgrading and Servicing Guide for the AIO.  Beginning on Page 15 is shows how to replace the Hard Drive.
