I have a laptop of course it's an HP Pavilion ze5500. Right now since it won't recognize the hard drive I have to run Linux from a disc. I'm not to fond of Linux so I was wanting to install Windows XP, but when I go to install Windows XP from the disc, it says no hard disk. When I go to BIOS to look at the hard disk it says [none]. I tried to manually enter it by entering the cylinders, heads, and sectors myself but it still won't recognize it. The hard drive is the original hard drive that came with the laptop. Does anyone know why this this problem could occur, and if so, is there anyway to correct it.
