I think the issue above may have been the problem or part of it.? I did not test this out though by disabling secure boot with the bootable media I was using then. Having Secure Boot enabled prevents legacy boot devices from starting your computer, including bootable CDs and DVDs." "HP computers that come with Windows 8 installed have Secure Boot enabled by default. HP PCs - Secure Boot (Windows 8) | HP(R) Customer Support From my reading there are lots of people who seem to be running into all sorts of problems until they work out how it works. This was probably some issue with the setting with the UEFI.

Having got here, I think I will leave it like that as it probably makes sense and I suppose windows will probably run better with them? This has got rid of the additional HP partitions and crapware which is also what I was trying to achieve. But this has meant that I get the windows recovery partitions that I was trying to avoid.

I did not touch the Legacy BIOS boot order just the UEFI boot order as information given suggested that the UEFI takes precedence. "boot from failed." This was with the GParted.iso installed on disc or USB.
On this new laptop which appears to have UEFI and Legacy BIOS settings, setting UEFI settings to boot from DVD or USB first in order to run a bootable format disc to preformat before a clean install has thrown an error message that.
