I inherited a used hp/compaq dc7600 desktop after we upgraded at work. The hard disk was re-formatted but it came with a set of HP XP and Restore disks - unfortunately for a dc5800. I optimistically ran the automated format and install of XP. It seemed to work, then asked me to reboot.

On reboot it returned to CD, so I messed with the bios so it reboots from HD. Now it refuses to boot from hard disk.

Do I need correct disks to get this working? Am I missing a step or trick?

Just call HP in your country and explain the situation, very often their CDs have hardware specific drivers which can be slipstreamed into OEM disks but for the sake of a call they may well send you out replacements.
