How to fix this?

[RVR]

Im getting these errors. I can't even open the CMD to try and do anything. Not sure what else to do.

I was trying to install windows 10 because there was a problem before. Then I kept getting "Drive 0 Unallocated Space 0.0 MB total size 0.0 MB Free space"
During Windows Installation

So I'm just wondering if there's a way to get out of this error

I feel the hard drive is done but checking if anything is still doable.

You buy a SSD to replace your broken hard drive and reinstall windows..

Install Gentoo

But will this partition error go away?

 

[TribbleZA]

How many partitions did you have ?

Remove the hard drive and test it somewhere else.

Or if it is under warranty, take it in.

HP usually have a 3 year warranty.

Its a friend's laptop, so I thought it would be an easy fix with a new windows but yeah guess the hard drive is messed up.

Old laptop, I guess there's nothing to be done other than replacing harddrive.

Won't the error still show? Because of the hard-drive.

No OS is going to fix a broken hard drive...

If you have bootable, stuffy / flash drive / cd, you could also have a look.

Hopefully your data is backed up in the cloud.

New hard drives are cheap.

It's a test.

It's a test.

A test for what..? OS doesn't even boot and it's clearly showing on screen that the hard drive has smart errors and thus the boot partition cannot be found..

I know those HP laptops, they use the Seagate Rosewood family HDD's, they are kak.

Replace it with a SSD.

Not if you replace the HDD, the faulty partition is on the drive. Replace it with a new drive, I.e. new partitions.

Turn SMART off in BIOS and continue and immediately backup all your data to an external hard drive
