Thanks, Guys, for your responses. As it turns out, after a 40 minute session
with HP Support via "Chat" w/Tech, he determined it was the HD that was
disabled and had to be replaced. I took the Pavilion to Best Buy's "Geeks"
squad (Authorized HP Repair & Service), and they are going to replace the HD
and reinstall XP Media under warranty and at no cost to me! Sure hope that's
all that is wrong with it.
Appreciate you Guys for trying to help.
