My hp laptop shows an error message when I power on it. It says "repairing for errors. This might take more than an hour to complete." Now it has been more than 24 hours. And the screen is the same. Please help me out what should I do.

Sounds like the hard drive has failed and will have to be replaced. Have you tried Diagnostics to test the drive? Immediately after powering on start tapping the Esc key. This will open a menu where F2 System Diagnostics is an option. Tap F2 key and run the tests.

Translates to Hard Disk 1 Quick Test Failure. In other words-hard drive has failed and will have to be replaced.
