Hi,
It means the Hard Drive is failing or has failed and needs to be replaced. You will then need to reinstall Windows.
This would be a great time to upgrade to an M2 PCIe NVMe SSD which would give an amazing boost to the performance of the PC.
So you can replace with a regular 2.5" Hard Drive (max 2TB because of thickness)
Example:
or much much faster M2 PCIe NVMe SSD such as the Samsung 970 EVO Plus or cheaper and slower Crucial P1
Example:
On page 31 of the service manual, you can see the steps to remove the failed Hard Drive and place a new one. Or on page 33 how to install an M2 SSD.

To reinstall Windows you have a couple of options (here is a small guide):
1. Use HP cloud recovery to creat an USB to reinstall the original OS of your notebook with drivers and software

2.Perform a clean install of Windows 10
Download media creation tool from Microsoft on PC (different PC), run and create a bootable pendrive with the OS on it. (there is an explanation on the Microsoft web page on how to create the pendrive). Create the drive with Windows 10 Home 64-bit edition. Windows will automatically activate once installed and connected to the Internet.

If you choose this option you will need to use the pendrive to perform a clean install of Windows 10. You might need to disable fastboot and secure boot in BIOS (probably not). So, insert the pendrive in the PC and it should boot directly from the drive. If not, turn off the PC by holding the power button. Press the power button and immediately keep pressing ESC until the startup menu appears and then press F9 and choose the pendrive in the boot menu. Once it boots from pendrive follow the procedure to install Windows.
When finished installing allow Windows to completely update and find all or most drivers. You can follow this process by going into settings > Security and update > click on Verify for updates. You might need to reboot a couple of times.
I recommend installing HP support assistant which will help keep your drivers up to date and much more. You can download the latest version from here.

Once completely updated you can go into device manager and see if there are any missing drivers (there will be yellow exclamation mark next to the device). You can find these drivers and software on HP support page for your product.
Hope it helps,
David
