Hi:
The error code reported means the hard drive needs to be replaced and the operating system reinstalled.
Below is the link to the service manual where you can find the hard drive removal and replacement procedure.

After you replace the hard drive, you can create a bootable recovery drive using the HP cloud recovery client utility.
Here is an info link for how to use that utility...
