Please I hope I can get a reply soon. My laptop was working fine yesterday but when I came back to it last night, it wasn’t coming on. It brought the message disk repair might take up to an hour and I left it overnight and it still showed this message. I tried searching for solutions and then ran a system fast test and it showed Hard Drive/SSD Short DST Check:Warning. I really need my laptop to write some exams.

Hello
the hard drive is defective
It can continue to operate for a certain time, but it can definitively break down, if it is not already the case!
If possible, save personal data
Try a full reinstall
Be careful even if it works, it may permanently break down, save the data regularly.
This may allow you to use the computer while you find a hard drive!
