Not logical to buy a new OEM disk as I have the product key right?

You could try to contact HP and see if they will provide a recovery disk. A lot of OEM systems contain a Recovery partition on the HDD, but if the drive goes bottoms up the manufacturer should still provide disks to recovery the system.
Best of luck!
