Rcovery of Windows XP from HP recovery disks

‎02-22-2012 07:25 PM

My HP Pavillion DV5000 laptop harddisk crashed and had to be replaced. During installation of Windows XP from from the two recovery DVDs the process stops soon after inserting DVD2 which gets ejected repeatedly. What can I do to get my system up and running?
