"Are you using the HP recovery disk for your computer? If not you may be having driver problems. Did the recovery complete and now it won't boot or did it hang during install. What model computer do you have? With a little more info we can help you better. Ralph

Here is a cnet article on your problem. Ralph

"Ah, I see.

FYI there is a fix for the ""missing"" CD rom drive you encountered.

Was the recovery you ran off of your CD's or off of the recovery partition?

Running a diagnostics would consist of running a hard drive test & memory test for the basic stuff.

I would recommend Hitachi's Drive Fitness Test and also MemTest 86+ for Hard Drive testing & Memory testing. You would need to google these and download the .ISO, burn the image to a disc, and then boot off of the disc's. If you would like assistance with this we can help.

Thanks"
