Fail to complete HP restoration. Error mess - "CTO Error Flg" + "[205] UIA Write Failed 3 Times!!!"

Question

After failing to recover my system from the recovery software on the D-harddisk partition, I bought HP Recovery disks from HP support and installed the first disk as per instructions and turned on the PC . I also pressed ESC on powerup and then selected F9 to boot from DVD. After 5 minutes of accessing the HP recovery disks in the DVD drive, an error message resulted stating that "HP Restoration Incomplete". I looked at the details of the error and showed another error message stating "[205] UIA Write Failed 3 Times!!!". ANyway I try to make the PC recover either from the Recovery manager using the HP Recovery Manager & Recovery software on the D-Hard Disk partition or using the HP Recovery DVD s I get both ways the same "CTO Error flg" + "[205] UIA Write failed 3 times". ANy thing else that can be done, please?

Thank you for the response. Since I posted my problem description on this Forum, I was working directly with HP Support and ultimately found that I needed to push the F9 button immediately as the PC was poweringup. DOing this correctly then let the HP provided Recovery disks ( I bought them from HP) be actually read by the system and recovery correctly proceded.
But this shows there is some buggy issue with the HP hard disk test that i ran several times and each time showed a hard disk Fault message with result [305 ] and also [303] - which led me to almost placin an expensive purchase for a replacement HP 320 GB disk drive. 
Thankfully the HP support people were so thorough with me and kep calling me back to follow up with me to check how I was doing that then I got my HP laptop back working. otherwise I would have made a mistake and installed third disk, the HP Driver disk - and its working great now and faster than ever.
Thank you Hewlett Packard.
Actually I was aware of this type of support from HP since the 1970s when I was buying and installing HP A2100 servers, then HP 1000 servers, then HP 9000 server, and I met  and had presentations from HP's Engineering team and management in  California presenting to me and my boss the the next type of  systems that HP was developing for the future,  and then the HP-DEC ALpha machinea - All of this to have the best  computers with the best support to operate General Electric's (GE Americom at the time) critically important ground control systems that fly most of the commercial SATCOM satellites over the USA.  Even though I have left that job a while back, SES AMericom is still using HP computer to fly upwards of 20+ satellites over the USA and around the world.
Just shows why HP is the longest lived computer company and will continue to be!!!
My Support case number was 3013351909 so that whoever the HP support lady might get some credits for for her excellence and how well she persisted on her initiative to continually checkin with me and guide me and helped prevent me from buying a hard disk when I didn't need to.
Thank you HP and Regards to the long lived realtionship with me!
