Hello,
I have a HP Pavillion ze4500 laptop and recently while I was on the laptop my hard drive was making clicking noises and my laptop was freezing periodically every 30 seconds for about 4 minutes and then it brought up a blue screen and said dumping physical memory and I rebooted and it then said cannot find operating system. I then got a new hard drive, put it in, and I got the same message. I have a windows xp disk, so I went to load that, it loads, then it goes right back to the setup screen after its done copying files and it will not do anything else. Its stuck with setting up. Is it possible that the bios isn't reading the new HD? I hope someone can help, I'm flustered.
