Hard disk error HARD DISK 1 (3F1) is associated with HP laptops and appears when the laptop hard drive that stores the OS gets damaged or corrupt. The HARD DISK 1 (3F1) error can also occur due to damaged operating system files (caused by bad sectors on the hard drive).

In most cases, this problem resides within the hard drive. However, in some cases, the problem can be caused by a malfunctioning hard drive controller but that’s rare. Following are some solutions that you can apply to your system and fix it.

Solution 1. Hard Reset

Solution 2. BIOS Reset Defaults

Solution 3. Use HP PC Hardware Diagnostics

Solution 4. Reset the Hard drive

Solution 5. Remove Hard Drive and Test it

Use Data Recovery Tool

If none of the above-mentioned solutions work, use a reliable data recovery tool such as MiniTool Power Data Recovery that facilitates recovery from an inaccessible, corrupt, and formatted hard drive. 

After you have successfully recovered the data, format the drive using ‘Disk Management’ tool or ‘Disk Part’ command utility. Insert the drive to the HP laptop, install Windows, and then restore your data to the drive. If possible, replace the HDD with a new drive to prevent future data loss situation.
