My HP 2000 Notebook PC hasn't been starting up properly. I just wanted to check some things in it, but when I turned it on, all that follows is a black screen, then a screen that says "preparing automatic repair", goes to black screen again, then another screen saying "diagnosing your computer" , black screen again, then proceeds display the "repairing disk error. This may take over an hour to complete" screen. After a couple hours, the screen goes black and the whole process starts over. I tried to go to system recovery(f11), but it redirects back to the "preparing automatic repair" screen. Is there something wrong with the hard drive itself or is it something different?

Hello, I followed the steps provided by the link, but my laptop still displays the same messages( preparing auto repair, diagnosing your pc, Repairing disk errors). If theres anything else I can do to possibly fix it, then that be greatly appreciated.

Did you run the hardware test on the computer suggested in the article? If yes, let me know the result.
If you didn't run the test, I recommend you run the test to make sure it is not a hardware issue.

You can access the hardware diagnostics without booting to Windows.
Here is how it is done.
-
Turn on the computer.
-
Immediately press the f2 key repeatedly, about once every second, until the UEFI menu opens.
When the UEFI menu opens, select the diagnostic test you want to run, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
Cheers!

Ok, I went to the UEFI menu and did the Memory and Hard Drive checks( these were the only ones that showed other than language and exit) and these are the results:
Memory: PASSED
Hard Drive(Quick)
- SMART CHECK: PASSED
-Short DST: PASSED
Hard Drive(Extensive)
-SMART Check: NOT INSTALLED
-Long DST: NOT INSTALLED
I hope this info helps.
