problem is that I am not able to install windows xp sp2 by any means.
Linux and vista goes fine.
More specifically: I have hp-pavillion dv 5000(5118tx)
When I use my recovery disc It goes fine upto around 25%, then it says" can not copy file" something like BASE_04.INP. then it stop saying installation complete. when I boot it says NTLDR missing. and prompt to restart.

When I use windows XP SP2 cd made for hp PCs , it just does not recognise cd.

When I use regular windows XP cd it ask to hit any key to boot from CD.
when i hit a key it says something like "setup is inspecting your hardware configuration" and then a blank screen comes which stays even for hours(I have checked it), no more progress.

I don't understand wht is going on?
