during HARD DRIVE SHORT DST CHECK: FAILED 68D96K-8AWA6A-MFPX7F-60XL03
Can anyone tell me what this means? We have had problems with a hacker. He has infiltrated all hp systems in our shop I think this may be related.

Sadly to say: Most of the time the 24 char disk failure id indicates the HDD is failing and it needs to be replaced.. Is it still under warranty ? If NOT, you have to replace yourself then rebuild your machine.
For Windows 7 and Windows 10. Please use Cloud Recovery tool:
