Hello Koketso,
Just make sure you follow the steps under "Recovery when Windows 8 does not start correctly" from the link below:

If that doesn't help, there is going to be an issue with the recovery partition on your notebook and you'll need to get HP recovery disks. If you need recovery disks, please start from the following link: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=bph07143
Best regards,
