Hi:

If you are getting the hard drive short DST failure report, you will need to install a new hard drive and reinstall the operating system.

how do i do that if i cant even log onto the computer it stays on the blue screen and doesnt let me do anything

I don't understand your reply.

You need to buy a new hard drive, take your notebook apart, install the new hard drive and then reinstall W10 using recovery media or the media creation tool to create a W10 installation flash drive.

Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com)

Consult the service manual for your specific model notebook for the hard drive removal and replacement procedure.

That is correct.

You fix the problem by installing a new hard drive.
