If the Recovery environment becomes corrupted for any reason, the only recourse you have then is to purchase HP Recovery Media and use that. There is nothing you or we can do to restore the Recovery environment.
HP Recovery Media is a set of DVDs and a CD, or USB stick, that will erase the hard drive (removing all data, settings, and applications, reinstall the original OS, drivers, and some HP Utilities.
In some cases, you may be able to order a USB stick instead of disks. You have to order these from HP; they can not be downloaded.
You can look online for Recovery Media starting with the linked paged: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers
Once there, input your Product name or number. On your Software and Drivers Download page, select your Operating System and and Version. Click "Update".
If HP Recovery Media is available for your machine, down near the bottom of the page, you will see an entry for Order Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB. Click the "+" symbol to expand that entry and click on Order Media for details.
Or, if you prefer, you can do the same by contacting HP Customer Service:
If you live in the US or Canada, contact information is on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1
If you live elsewhere, contact information is on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html
NOTE: After you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to some one -- it can take a while!
If you have trouble finding a phone number, then try: 1 (650) 857-1501.
If HP no longer provides Recovery Media for your model, another site you can check is: http://www.computersurgeons.com
When you get the media, if it is a USB stick, insert it into your PC, pressing F9 to get a Boot menu, then select the External USB Hard Drive to boot from it.

But is it sure that the recovery media currupted? or it could me another reason? as i can see my recovery partion is showing status ''full'' only 1.4gb free space. but all files are hiden. not visible.
is there any chance to fix this issue without buy new media? as all backup files still in same recovery partitions.
i have one another same model laptop. i bought 2 same brand laptop and both have same hp recovery partion and its full with data.
if i buy new disk or usb meaning another license for windows?

Being able to see the files in the Recovery partition is no indication of that being intact.
If the built-in Restore does not work, since there is no way to "repair" the Recovery environment, your only recourse to doi a factory reset is then to purchase HP Recovery Media.
