You may need to change the boot order in the BIOS to have the CD/DVD driver before the hard disk. (usually F10 at boot on a HP machine). This should allow you to reinstall Windows without it booting into the existing damaged installation.
 
Set your boot order to use DVD drive as suggested. When you get to the screen 'Where do you want to Install Windows' choose 'Drive Options (Advanced)
Here you can format the partition on which you want to install Windows so that you can achieve a 'clean install'.

Hi :)

Sounds like a bad disc.... is it a GENUINE MICROSOFT disc with a Hologram on it or a copy disc ?

All the best Brett :)
 
check your dad cd..does it say upgrade on it?? if it does it not a fully bootable disk. if your hp is a newer unit there should be a set of restore cd or a restore partion on the main hard drive. if it has a restore partion you have to hit a f key at post to start the restore. if your pc has a set of restore cd and you lost them you can pick up a set on ebay or from hp.

Can you swap the optical drives? If so use the drive from the working one.

You still need a genuine disk, however your optical drive might be going bad as well, either the drive is old or it's not designed to read burned cds (even though it 'can').
