Hi this morning I woke up to find boot device error when I did nothing wrong - it was doing updates before I went to bed. I inserted my recovery media and I get error code 0xEFFFFF24

Short answer: my guess is that your disk-drive is "failing".

 

Long answer: see: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?q=0xEFFFFF24

 

for 5 questions (1 of which is yours) where the same error-code was reported on this forum.
