Corrupt recovery or HDD error

Question

Hy
I'm having problem with my windows recovery. A few days ago I created a recovery USB flash drive using Win recovery utility. I deleted recovery drive to increase space. My machine started freezing and crashed after that. My machine is HP ENVY 15-j037tx Notebook PC. It failed to load Windows and displays boot device not found. The HP UEFI diagnostics for hard disk failed the Short DST test with failure code U0EDBK-6Q66G1-MFGJXG-60U003. Does this mean I have to replace my hard drive? My laptop's product ID is E6G06PA#UUF and I have Win8 -64 installed on it upgarded to 8.1... Anyway I succeeded in formatting HDD but it doesn't appear in bios. I can install a cracked copy of windows 8 1 but recovery from USB is not possible. It stucks at  ' welcome administrator'.......... and machine restarts displaying on black screen ... ' Recovery was incomplete'..... with options... ''detail.... copy.... retry...''

@lazirus ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums.  In this situation when you went and removed the recovery partition you messed with the drive mapping. In the old days you could have done a low level format to rebuild the blocks and sectors.  Not any more you will now have to replace the hard drive.
When you removed the recovery drive the recovery media you made now has no where to go to get the files it needs.  
First you will need the recovery media.
HP PCs - Obtaining HP Recovery Discs or an HP USB Recovery Drive
After that you will need to contact HP phone support for replacement hard drive or repair.
Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.
