HP Touchsmart with a BIOHD - 8 error code. What does it mean and what can I do?

Computer keeps crashing.  Ran diagnostics and it came up with the error code BIOHD -8 for the hard drive.  What do I do?

Here are the specs and ordering options for your HP TouchSmart IQ526t CTO Desktop Computer. Since this is a configure-to-order model, I have no way of knowing the size of the hard drive in your computer. Please post the size of the hard drive shown on your order slip or in Windows. Sizes available for ordering were;
320 GB 7200 rpm SATA 3G (3.0 Gb/sec)
500 GB 7200 rpm SATA 3G (3.0 Gb/sec)
640 GB 7200 rpm SATA 3G (3.0 Gb/sec)
750 GB 7200 rpm SATA 3G (3.0 Gb/sec)
1 TB 5400 rpm SATA 3G (3.0 Gb/sec)
Here are some detailed instructions on Replacing the Hard Drive in your IQ526T.
