questions;

1. is this a new/refurbished laptop you just got ? or you have had it for quite a time and re-installing windows 8 on it.?
2. if you leave it for an hour does it complete the formatting ?
3. have you attempted to reboot in bios and launch the factory restore from hp? (from the HP web page; https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03374369#AbT9) "HP Recovery Manager enables fast recovery of the factory preinstalled image if the system becomes corrupted or if important system files are accidentally deleted. Up to 19GB of the hard drive is reserved for the system recovery software."
