For the time being you can use a retail copy of the default operating system which you indicated as being, Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium. However note that drivers and or software that originally shipped with the notebook will not be present as they are exclusively licensed to HP for your HP notebook. If you wish to obtain the default software titles, and restore your computer to original factory settings I strongly suggest you visit the support site and have it auto detect your notebook so you can in turn order a new set of recovery media. Do not fear this as a resolution, since it is common for self made recovery discs to go bad. I personally didn't think it would help, but after ordering an actual set of recovery discs I was very happy to see that it solved my problem. If you should need further assistance, you can send me a private message. Until next time, I hope my advice answers your concern. For security reasons, I would also advise against revealing your operating system's product key or your product serial in an open forum.

I have the same problem and I have the recovery disks. They do not work I still have the error code. I do believe it has something to do with the MBR, and being EFI system instead of GPT. I think the virus I got destroyed the boot partition.
Disk 0 Unallocated Total Size 2.0 GB / Free Space 2.0 GB
Disk 0 Partition 1 "I Drive" "Primary" 43.0 GB / 43 GB
Disk 0 Partition 2 "C drive" 3.0 GB / 3.0 GB
Didk 0 Unallocated 883.5GB / 883.5 GB
I have never seen this set-up before. I have been building PC since 1998. I lost all my software tools and need free ones. Does anyone know of a place to get good software tools other than torrent sites?

I had the same problem the recovery tasks would not work. I downloaded partition wizard at http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html I burned the iso to a cd; booted up with the CD; zeroed the hard drive partitions, then deleted the partitions. Reboot with the recovery disks and they work just fine.
