Then I have an option for hitting F1.

When I do that it will go thru a scan and repair disk, goes back the the error again. I hit F1 again and will boot normal.

I have backed up everything on a 1tb drive for now.  

Does hard drive need replacing...I'm guessing yes, and what drive can I buy that will work with this system?

Yes the hard drive needs replaced. You can use any 2.5 inch wide 7 or 9.5 mm thick SATA hard drive or SSD.
