Hi:
If your notebook is reporting a smart hard disk error, you will first need to install a new hard drive before you can reinstall the operating system.
Below is the link to the service manual where you can find the hard drive removal and replacement procedure.
Chapter 1 of the service manual indicates your notebook has a M.2 slot that supports a NVMe SSD, so you may want to install one of those instead of replacing the mechanical hard drive.
