Try this:

Using the HP Recovery partition to recover a minimized image
(select models only)
The HP Recovery partition (select models only) allows you to perform a 
minimized image recovery
without the need for recovery discs or a recovery USB flash drive. This 
type of recovery can only be
used if the hard drive is still working.
To start HP Recovery Manager from the HP Recovery partition:
1.
Press f11 while the computer boots.
– or –
Press and hold f11 as you press the power button.
2. Select Troubleshoot from the boot options menu.
3. Select HP Recovery Manager, and follow the on-screen instructions.


If/when you succeed, then create recovery media per "Creating recovery 
media and backups".
