@deano90 , welcome to the forum.
This error is telling you that your hard drive has failed. The only way to fix it is replace the hard drive. You can run the hard drive diagnostics from the BIOS to make certain: https://www.support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00386164

Thank you for the additional information, @deano90!
Even if the hard drive is not in your computer, the error code is telling you that the computer can't communicated with the drive. Here is a guide that will explain the 3F0 codes: https://www.gillware.com/data-recovery-services/hard-drive-repair/hard-disk-3f0-error-data-recovery/

I thought that you were concerned about personal data that you have on the drive. Frankly, there is nothing that you can do to stop this from happening except for replacing the drive. I don't believe that it can be fixed.
