Start tapping F8 before the black screen with the white progress bar. That should bring up the advanced boot options menu that includes Safe Mode. If you just want to use the HP restore disks, they should be bootable.

im not an expert so i dont know if you'll find your answer at the links, they're just somthing to try if you have the free time . also did you install SP2?, because there are known problems with booting with it.

 

If the restore CD won't boot, make sure you enabled booting from CDs in the BIOS boot order.
