HP Omen 17 (17-an010ca)
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My daughter's HP Omen will not start.  It just sits on "Preparing Automatic Repair".  I have run the HP diagnostics, and the Hard Drive continuously fails the "Short DST Check" with a Failure ID "PSG788-8SB985-MFPURF-60RE03".  I believe this indicates that there is a Hardware Failure on the Hard Drive.  Can someone confirm my thinking?   The HP Omen is beyond its warranty date so this will likely mean that I will need to purchase a new replacement hard drive.  The Drive is part ST2000LX001, which is a 2 TB drive.  Any suggestions on a replacement?

Hi:

 

You are correct.

 

The error code reported, Hard Disk 1 Quick Test Failure, means the hard drive needs to be replaced and the operating system reinstalled.

 

Below is the link to the service manual where you can find the HDD R & R procedure.

If your daughter doesn't require 2 TB of storage space and can live with 500 GB, I would recommend replacing the drive with a better performing, normally more reliable solid state drive (SSD).

 

I have this one for example, and it works great.

It appears that model is supported by the HP cloud recovery client utility, but I am unsure if you don't replace the drive with another 2 TB drive, that it will work.

 

Here is an info link on how to use the cloud recovery client utility.

If you decide to get a smaller size SSD and the above utility doesn't work, you can always clean install W10 using the Microsoft media creation tool to create a plain W10 USB installer.

After W10 has completed installing, you can install the drivers and available software from your notebook's support page.

Thank you for your very complete and detailed reply.  I will do some research on a Drive replacement and proceed with purchasing one, and then will do the recovery process.
