Hello, I'm having an error message when i turn on which is Smart Hard Disk Error 301. I have 2 options in the message which is F2 and Enter to start up the computer as normal. I press F2 to run a system test and my failure ID:  GLRW1T-8JX9MD-MFPUQ1-60AF03 and can please help me identify the real problem behind this.

The error code= "Hard Disk 1 SMART Hard Drive Detects Imminent Failure".

Your hard drive is failing fast and will need to be replaced.

Example of compatible hard drive:

If you don't have Recovery Media to install Windows on a new drive you can make it using HP Cloud Recovery software on your Support page:
