Hi @Laukie,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd like to help!

The code indicates "Hard Disk 1 SMART Hard Drive Detects Imminent Failure"

If you can still boot into OS, you should back up all your important data. You should replace the drive.

Go through this document and follow the instructions. 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
