My friends computer was running slow and his brother told me to wipe the hard drive. So i downloaded Dban, put it on a DVD , and attempted to wipe the hard drive. The first time i put it on the computer the computer shut down before it could finish. I eventually got Dban to completely finish and the computer restarted. The boot screen says:

When you hit F2 the screen turns black with a blinking white line. Then the "Disk Boot Failure Inster System Disk and Press Enter" message appears. I have the recovery disks from HP but when I load the computer with them it says they aren't compatable. So i have no idea how to fix it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
