The most common times you will see the cyclic redundancy check error message is when trying to read data from a damaged CD or DVD. Just before it appears, your CD/DVD drive will probably grind and whirl away - your PC may also become a little slugglish.
This is a very common problem with HP recovery disks.
If you have a DVD, try cleaning the disk real good and use the DVD.
If still no go, then the disk is probably bad.

Another thing...
HP must not have any devices installed except monitor keyboard and mouse when doing a recovery.
No printer, no ethernet cord, no usb devices etc.
