You will need to install a new drive and reinstall the operating system.

If you can still get into Windows, back up any files you need to save onto a portable hard drive.

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook, where you can find the hard drive removal and replacement procedure.

You may want to consider replacing the drive with a better performing, normally more reliable solid state drive (SSD).

If you don't need a lot of drive space, this 500 GB model provides the best performance for the price
