Test if you can boot from your CD drive. Pop in an XP install CD or any bootable CD in your CD/DVD drive. Power ON the laptop. Make sure boot order/boot sequence is set to be able to boot from the CD/DVD drive. It should boot from the CD drive. If NOT, then may be you need to replace the CD/DVD drive.

About the HDD, is this a blank HDD or is Windows installed in it? I suggest you run some diagnostics on it too. Try Hitachi Drive Fitness Test or the HDD brand/maker's diagnostic utility.

Post back results of each test.
