How do I fix my HP hard drive error?
1. Check hard disk for errors
The check disk utility will scan the system for any bad sectors in the hard drive and try to repair them if necessary.
2. Check for conflicting software
If you have an antivirus program installed, try to disable it temporarily. If that does not work, you can also try to uninstall the antivirus program completely from the system. You should remove the recovery drive and try to boot from the hard drive. If repaired, the short DST failed error should be solved. You can also use the Restore Point option to restore your PC to an earlier point. For this, you again need the recovery drive if you are unable to login to your PC. Now all you have to do is select any of the previously created restore points to fix this issue.
3. Replace hard drive
The most common cause for when the hard drive short DST check failed on your HP, is a defective hard drive due to corruption or damage. If the laptop is new, you can contact the service center and claim the warranty. Before that try to connect the hard drive to any other computer and see if it recognizes it. However, if the laptop is out of warranty, you may need to purchase a new hard drive for your laptop. You can recover your data from the old hard drive using a USB-SATA Adapter.
Even if your hard drive is not functioning properly as you’ve seen there is a way to recover your data.
