Smart disk error

[SamSam2]

Hello I haven't had my hp laptop long, my computer was fine until recently. It first was starting out slow, so I thought I could restart my computer and it'll be ok, then that when it started to act weird and give me pop ups like update.exe, so I waited out to see what would happen, then it showed a blue screen of a sad face emoticon and it shut it self off, and then turned back on saying while loading 'preparing automatic repair' and then it changed to 'repairing disk error, this might take an hour to complete.' So I went to the internet to the internet for help, they told me to force it on and off which I've done and I don't think that's done anything, I don't want to spend money to get it fixed when I can find a more cheaper and less stressful solution, Please help.

Hi @SamSam2,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you with the replacement Hard drive. 

You may order the replacement parts on the HP Parts Store, use the HP Parts Surfer to find the part number and If you've already looked for it and couldn't find it on the HP Parts Store, you may want to get it locally at the online store such as Amazon or eBay, etc...as the part numbers are universal. 

  

Alternatively, I suggest you talk to HP support and discuss your options, follow the below steps to get started: 

  

1) Click on this link. 

2) Click on Sign-in or select the product using the below step: 

3) Enter the serial of your device. 

4) Select the country from the drop-down. 

5) Click on "Show Options". Fill the web-form, to populate a case number and phone number for yourself! 

  

Also, if you are having trouble navigating through the above options, it's most likely because the device is out of warranty, if yes? please send me a private message with the region you are contacting us from, here's how private messages work: Click here for details.  

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
