So I have the issue with my laptop not starting up so I went on the startup screen, pressed f2 and did the quick and fast scan. Both times I’ve had the Short DST check fail and every other one pass. I don’t know what to do. Any help from you wise wizards?

Hi
You have a failed/failing HDD.
MAKE BACKUPS OF YOUR DATA.
Next make a Recovery Media. Buy a replacement HDD.

From 2016 onwards there is a possible recovery option via the cloud...
