So you have the Recovery Disk set already made from the Recovery Partition. Have you tried booting it to see if it will run?
There are three ways to run your Recovery partition normally: Look in All Programs to find the same Recovery Manager which helped you burn the disks to run Recovery from there.
Next you can run Recovery by tapping the key given on first boot screen to Run Recovery from boot. Go to HP Support Downloads webpage for your model computer to read the Manual to see the exact steps, or consult your setup literature.
Finally, you can boot to run the Recovery Disks you made.
Be sure to back up your files first, and gather your program installers. If you lost any Product Keys for programs you installed (like Office) then audit them from the HD using Belarc Advisor.
