xp reinstall hp pavilion laptop
My system drive fails. I am having a HP Pavilion DV5000 laptop. It was working fine but suddenly the drive failed. Due to which I lost all my data and Windows XP is also not booting. I tried to install xp back but the installer is not able to find the hard drive. That confirmed that the hard disk has stopped working. I just made this thread to locate some solution which can help me to get my data back. Is it still possible to recover the data.

If there is a hardware failure then you cannot do anything. It is complicated to get data from it. You will need to contact any data recovery service and ask them for help. You can check in the bios. If the hard drive is still detected then try to install xp back again. I hope after a few number of attempts it might work. Or else the last option left is to carry the laptop to your nearest service center and get a replacement.
