Inactive System files integrity check and repair error 0x45d, possible virus

Spoke to HP and they are replacing the drive. any suggestions to save data or just restore from my carbonite backup? I believe I have everything in the cloud that I need

Thank you again for all your help. I am getting an external drive reader to confirm I have everything and will be sending it back to HP. What do you recommend in order to erase all of my data on a corrupt drive. Will it take a formatting? Do I need to format it as a primary or should it be done as a slave when it is external? I very much appreciate all your help and I am sorry I doubted you about the virus.

No need to apologize. Your computer WAS infected but in some weird coincidence you also developed HDD issue.
I doubt HP will spy on your data but you can surely slave your drive and format it.
