Turn off the PlayStation 4 by pressing the power button on the front panel. The power indicator will blink for a few moments before turning off.
Once the PlayStation 4 is off, press and hold the power button. ...
Connect the DualShock 4 controller with the provided USB cable and press the PS button on the controller.
Hope this helps.

It did not work for me :(
Hmm if it did not work you may want to take it to a repair shop.
Launching the PlayStation in safe mode on its own will not fix this, I have had this problem occur multiple times and have learned that there is no sure fire way to fix it. Following the instructions that the ps4 gives you (using usb etc) almost never works check other forums if you don't believe me. Now onto some of the handful of ways I have fixed or papered over the cracks until the next time it happens
1 disconnect the power completely, clean, wait and try again
2 launch in safe mode and update the ps4
3 launch in safe mode and try all of the other options leaving initialise ps4 till last because that will wipe everything from your PlayStation
If none of these options work well then your probably buggered sorry, best bet after that is send to a technician or get a new 1 which kinda sucks I know
You would think given the amount of people having this problem that PlayStation Sony would adress the issue with a guaranteed way of fixing it seeing as how they built it and understand exactly what's happening but no just a bunch of semi to unhelpful forum posts and silence on behalf of Sony
Corporations I guess folks...

You need a new hard drive. Your PS4 won’t let you initialize your current hard drive because it is faulty. So, you need to buy a new hard drive and then reinstall the system software on the playstation website.
