laptop cd not load windows.only troubleshoot & shutdown options were there. no trouble shoot worked.Error message was "d0000452".
After diagnose got HDD Short DST Failure With 24 letter code...... UC2BGX-778LM-XD7V6J-60V303.
searched HP forum & most probably i need to replace the HDD.
But i have no recovery disk. Can i download it from HP website with product ''serial no'' ?

If you did not make you Recovery Media -which you would have been prompted to do- you can contact HP Support in your area to order it: >>Contact HP
Recovering data on a dying hard drive depends on how much life is left in it. You should be able to install it in a USB HDD Enclosure or USB HDD Adapter and plug it into a usb port of a working machine. The machine will detect it as another hard drive to browse and copy files off to host machine.
