Whenever I turn on my laptop I get an error about SMART Hard Disk error and it detects imminent failure. I don’t care much about the data that is saved on the HDD. I just want it running like normal again. I’m able to press F2 to go into system diagnostics or press Enter to Continue Startup. If I press Enter to Continue Startup the HP logo pops up and the 5 circles will start to spin for about 5-10 minutes before giving me a blue error screen. The blue error screen will stay up for about 20 seconds before sending me back to the Smart Hard Disk Error Screen. Thanks to anyone for helping!
