When I turn on my laptop it says smart hard disk has detected a imminent failure. Please back up the content.
It opens up the computer and show administrator account and says it’s failed to download when I click retry it says access denied. Please help me

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I understand you are getting this error on the computer screen, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:
- Did this happen after a recent window or software update?
- Did you make any changes to the settings of your PC prior to the issue?
- Could you please share the picture of the error message screen?
- What is the product number of your device? Use this link to find it: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03754824
Keep me posted for further assistance.
