Re: Reformatting HP Laptop: Infinite Cycle of Fail

sounds like it could be one of two things, or both.

one it could be a bad set of recovery cd's. HP may just send you new ones to try.
second, it could be a bad hard drive. you could download a hardware diagnostic program using another computer, but it to a cd and boot your PC from the cd rom drive. Drive fitness test is a nice program, or each hard drive manufacturer makes thier own diag program also,
