Strangely the information on this specific model of laptop is not found anywhere.
Regarding re-installation of Windows Vista, I hope your PC comes with a recovery partition. You just need to start the recovery when booting the laptop and follow the steps described there. You don't need any standalone installation DVD to get Vista back on your PC.

Hmmm ... XP is supported by the machine as you have drivers available here.

If even Vista is not being installed and is crashing somewhere I think it would be better if you take it to HP, also if possible could you tell us the code no. of the BSoD.

If you made the Recovery Discs, then u can install Vista from those discs. If i am wrong do correct me guys.

It Seems the XP Installation CD is not having proper SATA driver for your system. Use Winlite and merge SATA driver ( Download from HP site ) and create a XP CD with your system SATA drivers and check.

Customer Support is probably the best choice you've got. I hope they cover software reinstallations somewhere on their service. Or if you're a risk-taker, just do a full format, then run a clean set of installation for windows xp, using another installer.
