Go to the hard disk manufacturer's web site and download their diagnostic software
respective to your hard disk. After the test, you will know if the hard disk is bad or
not..

Uh, David, it's a laptop that will not boot. How does the original poster
know the correct hard drive manufacturer. And even if the original poster
CAN discover the hard drive manufacturer, contacting the laptop manufacturer
technical support is the only way to go.

Good Question Phil.

Remove the one or two screws from the laptop that holds the hard disk bay and one can easily
see the manufacturer.

I wouldn't say contacting HP Support is the "only way to go.
I had a Dell Latitude with a similar problem using an IBM TravelStar hard disk.
I used the IBM/Hitachi Drive Fitness Test and it found and corrected bad sectors and the
Laptop was again bootable.

I'd still recommend HP support and the possibility of in warranty repair
before removing the hard drive to obtain the manufacturer name. HP should
have a record of all the components used to build the laptop in question,
based on the serial number.

Of course, then the question for the original poster becomes what to do if
the drive warrants replacing; how to back up? I am not familiar with HP
model numbers, so I don't know how old an HP 5500 is likely to be, and the
likely warranty status.

Thx Guys, got WinXP boot up for a while. Simple!
Using recovery boot disk, than Chkdsk /r.
http://brock.paramagnus.com/2006/10/another-windows-errorstop-0x000000ed.html
It fixes bad sectors/volum.
I say while, because it was very slow to boot after error checking, 20
minuts or more, heavy HD activity, than a window massage poped up "page
file is missing go to control panel to set it up" or some thing like that.
Changed Page file/ vetiual memory managment to "auto" and every thing
got screwed up again, blue screen back at reboot.
So, I'm runnining Chkdsk /r again. Seems it's going over 50% now, but
very slow.
At very first Chkdsk /r, it only went to 50%, stopped and said Volume
has one or more errors.
Hope fully WinXP boots up better now and I leave what ever vertual
memory size window puts in.
First it was min 650 Meg max 1300? Meg.
Get back later!
