Uiadump32.exe Failure

Question

I have an HP G60-535DX laptop. Recently, I performed a clean install of the new Windows 8 Pro OS, of which I am not a big fan. When I attempted to perform a factory reset of my laptop using the HP System Disks I generated when I first bought the computer, I get an error concerning the uiadump32.exe program when recovery attempts to set up Windows 7 for the first time. I have tried several times to perform the system restore with the same results. I have used the restoration disks previously with no problems and they are not scratched. I am able to re-install Windows 8 from its installation disk as well as Enterpirse Linux. Unfortunately, my system restoration disks are my only source for Windows 7. Any advice would be most welcome.

Hello smshell,
Unfortunately, the restoration discs that came with the PC is only good for Windows 7.
Here's a document that may help (creating recovery discs or saving a recovery image to a USB flash drive)
Here's a document that may help (Using recovery manager to restore software and drivers)
Please let me know if this helps,
