Thanks for taking an interest in the HP Support Forums! After reading your post I see that your HP Compaq 6005 Pro does not boot into OS. I would like to help you out with this issue today.

 

Perform the following steps to determine if the hard drive is detected in BIOS:

  • Remove any media from the floppy drives, CD/DVD drives, USB ports, and memory card reader slots, and then disconnect all non-essential devices (printers, scanners, external hard drives, and similar). Leave only the keyboard, mouse, and monitor connected to the computer.
  • Turn on the computer, and then press the F10 key repeatedly at the first screen to open the BIOS Setup tool.
  • Verify that a hard drive name is listed from the main screen.

Click here and follow step 3 in the document to for further troubleshooting steps.

 

Let me know how it goes.

 

Cheers.
