The reason the cd recovery did not work is that it was made for some other HP model.
On the unit you are trying to recover, reboot the computer and press F10 . several times. You should see a recovery menu. Select the type of recovery that will format and recover the unit to OEM defaults.

If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it.
Thanks, Joe

Hi there
You can only perform a restore if the PC came with a recovery partition or recovery CD's.
Recovering the system without using Windows

1. Disconnect all peripherals and internal non preinstalled devices from the PC, except the monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
   
2. Turn on the computer.
   
3. When the initial blue HP screen appears, press the F10 key repeatedly until a recovery menu appears. The progress indicator that first appears does not indicate that a recovery is taking place. The progress indicator represents the time before the recovery process is started.
   
4. When the Recovery screen appears, click Next, and then click Yes to perform a normal, non-destructive recovery.
   
5. To perform a destructive recovery, click Advanced, and then click Yes.
   
6. After the System Recovery is complete, and the computer starts successfully, update the computer software
   
   

Post back if this does NOT work
