Q: code 8 with a corrupt hard drive?

I did a disk utility system scan and came back with a corrupt hard drive that needs to be repaired. As well as a Code 8. What does that mean? Do i need a new hard drive? Or can it be fixed?

see this article and proceed as Apple suggests.

It is also highly suggested you back up the drive ASAP in the event you do need to replace it.
