Help with HpHwDiag failure code

[TheNewMe]

I got the following failure code while running the HP Hardware Diagnostic on my HP ENVY 17 Notebook with Windows10 64bit

Short Drive Self-Test   Code:   6BRUXF-6ML9PC-MFGJWJ-60WX03

Any help appreciated

Hi:

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 for your notebook.  The HDD R & R procedure can be found in chapter 5.

You may want to consider purchasing a better performing, normally more reliable 2.5" solid state drive (SSD).

After you replace the hard drive, you can reinstall W10 for free using the media creation tool to create a bootable W10 USB installer.

When you get to the part of the installation script where you are asked to enter a product key, select the 'I don't have a product key' option, and W10 will install and automatically activate once you are connected to the internet.
