I would like to restore my notebook because windows no works.
I installed linux (ubuntu) for save data and is OK.
Now at the start boot linux I choose partition windows restore, open windows HP restore, launch the program and opens a window with this error: 0xe0ef0009
Tanks

Hello;
Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!
I presume that to install Linux, you had to alter the partitioning scheme of your PC, and when you did that, it likely corrupted the HP Recovery function and data -- rendering any future factory restore nonfunctional.
At this point, your only recourse to do a factory reset on your PC is to use HP Recovery Media.
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 (800) 474-6836
If HP no longer provides Recovery Media for your model, a couple of other sites you can check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/
Before using the media, read through this: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00006110
Good Luck
