Failure following HP Long Drive Self Test on Desktop PC

[Derk51]

I  ran some tests from HP PC Hardware Diagnostics; all system tests passed except the Long Drive Self-Test. Failure I.D. :- MOFN68 - 7Q7AFD - X87SMF - 619C13. It also said my Hard Drive might need replacement, but the PC seems to be running fine. Internet connection is Wifi and no recent software/hardware changes.

Any ideas on what I should do?

Thanks

Hi:

Back up any files you don't want to lose, and replace the hard drive when the PC doesn't boot up..

It can happen today, tomorrow or a month from now, but when you get one of those codes, the end is usually near.

The only thing you can try is to see if you can repair the disk using the checkdisk utility.
