I have a HP Pavillion DV5000 that runs windows XP. It began acting up, so I restarted it and now it will not load windows at all. It bluescreens real quickly and then begins to attempt again. I ran a PhoenixBios and it stated PASS. So, is my hardrive screwed? Thanks
Start pressing F8 at the und of the HP POST screen, you should get a boot menu. Select the disable autorestart option, this will make it stop at the BSOD, post back with the BSOD info, can't suggest anything without it.

This happened to me a month ago. My PC was attacked by a virus that wiped out Windows. I had to have my PC wiped clean after I backed up my files/docs onto an external HD then rebuild the computer from scratch. Thank God I have a good friend in KY who did it for me when I was down there over Derby week-end.
