Re: dv9000z
try to boot using a live CD (XP live CD or linux live CD). also remove your hard drive just to be sure. if you can consistently boot from your CD drive using an XP live cd (create one using BART PE, pe builder), then you can say it is the hard drive.
aside from doing the above, get the seagate hard drive diagnostics tool (see the HDD Diagnostic Tools link on my sig). i believe you can get the ISO version and burn the image into CD. pop that CD in your CD drive and boot from it. tests are pretty much straightforward and easy to follow.
