The HP product page for your PC shows it having a 1TB SATA drive, so there should not be a space issue as shown in your screenshot.
Also, HP Recovery Media starts by completely reformatting the entire drive, so once again, space would not be an issue.
This issue is more likely due to a failing drive.
If your PC is new enough to support UEFI, you can use these steps to test the hard drive: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00439024
If not, to check the drive you have to follow these steps:
1) Press Esc key repeatedly, several times a second, while rebooting the laptop. Do NOT hold the key down, just press it over and over.
2) Eventually, you will see an HP Startup Menu
3) Press the Function key for testing the hard drive (usually F2) and let it run.
