What is a "system recovery" in your words?
It actually says "Code Purple"?
Have you checked with the manufacturer/reseller of your computer?

point, then it is likely infected;
if you are saying that code
purple is an infection.

Is the PC a Compaq or HP?
Google "hp compaq code purple" (without the quotes) will give you many
results including some with suggested solutions.

After a Compaq System Restore using factory media, restarting there is
a message box titled System Configuration Error a bunch of text
telling you to cycle the power and the message ends with Code Purple
in parenthesis.
(Code Purple)
The OK or X buttons just cycle the error message.
Here is part 3 of a youtube video that shows you how to bypass the
configuration check:

View parts 1 and 2 to be sure that part 3 will be a solution for you.

From the following site I found several solutions:
Don't know if they will work or not. Please read all comments and
suggestions first and make up your own mind.
It sounds like the motherboard is not being recognized properly by the
Compaq re
One was to remove the motherboard battery for several minutes.(Shut down,
remove battery, wait, reinstall battery and reboot).
The other was:
"To access the "C:" drive to rename the file:
1. Boot the system with a Win Xp Original Disk.
2. When you have to select "Enter" to reload or "R" for Recovery Console
select "R".
3. Select the "H:\minint" Drive to bring up the System
4. At the "H:\minint" prompt, change to the "C:" prompt
5. Change directory to the "C:\hp\bin\configcheck"
6. Rename the file with the command "ren run.py run.p_"
7. Reboot the machine and there should be no "Code Purple" error."

Good answer.
May I refer you (although I can't recall if you were actually
involved) and others like you who think MS have a clue about
security and backup and recovery to the recent thread in which I
said I would never use sys restore and mentioned about hearing
about no-boot problems all the time, after which I was attacked
by pro-sys restore advocates.
Here's an example. Just one of thousands.
OP: Sorry, I can't help you. When you get your computer running,
one way or another, get an imaging program and image the C:
drive. Keep everything else on other partitions.

System Restore and System Recovery are not the same.
This thread is about what the OP says is "System Recovery" - which is
usually an OEM process, non-microsoft related.
Also backups should always be in place, consistently followed.

Are you sure the OP (and all the others who talk about this)
know that? I admit I didn't, but it sure did /not/ sound like he
went to his OEM manufacturer to get it done. I wouldn't do
EITHER, that's what actual OS discs (instead f "hidden
partitions) and imaging files are for.

As I always say, the user is the bottom line - although MS has a
way of making that bottom line a little hard to find
sometimes...
