Hello ClarkPend2014,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. I understand that the recovery CD is not completing the recovery on your computer, and I would be happy to guide you towards a resolution!
Since the System Recovery CD continues to freeze, I recommend following this document on Obtaining HP Recovery Discs or an HP USB Recovery Drive. This should help you acquire a replacement recovery disc to recover your notebook.
If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 1-800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region.
