Not sure whether we are talking about the same thing. I understood that HP
were suggesting some sort of recovery process that emulated MS System

Welp... I think you said that none of those options worked, right?
To answer your other questions. No I did not delete the D partition, and
Yes I made recovery disks. If I can use the recovery disks; my drive is
not recognised, remember, will that not lose all my installed apps etc etc.
and take me back to Day 1? Not sure I want to do that if I can avoid it.
Like Mick said: set your BIOS to boot from the CD/DVD drive first,
boot to your recovery DVD and then initiate a complete recovery.
You might beg/borrow/steal an external drive to copy all of your
important files to before performing that totally destructive
operation.
And you might give some serious thought about getting backup software
- such as Acronis True Image - and instituting a frequent and
consistetn backup schedule.
