OK. The failure code means the hard drive has failed and you will need to replace the hard drive.
So what you need is a 2.5" SATA3 (maximum 2TB because of thickness of drive). You can get from your preferred brand such as Seagate, WD...
Example:
or you could opt for a 2.5" SATA3 SSD which would improve everyday performance of the PC
Example:
On page 50 of service manual you can see the steps to replace drive:
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c05227786
You will need to reinstall the OS on the drive, either by using recovery disks, migrating a backup image or by downloading media creation tool from Microsoft on different PC , running and creating a bootable pendrive with the OS on it on different computer. (there is explanation on the Microsoft web page on how to create the pendrive) Windows will automatically activate once installed and connected to Internet.
https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/software-download/windows10
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
If you choose this option you will need to use the pendrive to perform a clean install of Windows 10. You might need to disable fastboot and secure boot in BIOS (probably not). So, insert the pendrive in the PC and it should boot directly from the drive. If not, turn off PC by holding power button. Press power button and immediately keep pressing ESC until startup menu appears and then press F9 and choose the pendrive in boot menu. Once it boots from pendrive follow the procedure to install Windows. You do not need a product key as it is in the firmware. Windows will automatically activate once installed and connected to internet.
When finished installing allow Windows to completely update and find all or most drivers. You can follow this process by going into settings > Security and update > click on Verify for updates. You might need to reboot a couple of times. Once completely updated you can go into device manager and see if there are any missing drivers (there will be yellow exclamation mark next to the device). You can find these drivers and software on HP support page for your product.
Let me know if you need further help,

Hi,
Try performing HP hardware diagnostics on the system to see if there are any hardware errors. It could be a problem with hard drive. So turn off the PC by holding power button, Turn on PC and continue to press ESC until startupmenu appears. Next press F2 to enter hardware diagnostics and perform the quick test.
Here is link to HP support page showing how to perform tests. Look at performing tests when Windows does not start:

Hope it helps,
