SOURCE: MY LAPTOP WONT START
If you go into the BIOS, is the hard drive detected?
Did you just install this drive from another laptop?
It doesn't make sense that it would try to boot to win98, since the original OS was XP Media Center to begin with.
Let me know, and I can help you further.

During start-up the computer will go to a black screen for awhile and then the pointer arrow will show alone, and then the system will come up.
If you think it's a hibernation problem, pull the ac plug and battery out for about 1 hour and then plug back in.
If this didn't work, then try the F8 Key and choose "Last Know Good Configuration".

Are you doing DESTRUCTIVE recoveries or are you doing NONDESTRUCTIVE recoveries? Try another hard drive in the machine and recover to that. Nondestructive recoveries replace the operating system without destroying the personal data. Its possible the original problem is propagating over to the recovered systems. Do a destructive recovery. Understand any data not backed up will be destroyed. Possible the original problem was a trojan virus.

If it is still under warranty then get it repaired under warranty, because if you try to fix it yourself and do further damage you most likely would void the warranty.
