Orginally, computer was freezing. Diag log indicated error 03F0, hard disk failed. Replace hard drive from a 250gb to 320gb as allowed in the hp specs. Used the HP recovery disc #1, fine. HP Recv disc #2 would stall. Tried it several times, including overnight. After approx at least 10 hours, #2 disc still hanging. I don't recall what I did to get me at my current situation. Power on, black screen. Power on and press the F12 key, = blue screen
Old old Compaq PC. a NOTE BOOK,Presario!
NO OS stated, not a word there.
new hard disk or was that a used HDD??? or SSD would have been 10x better and faster !!!
The Compaq back then has no F10 /F11 hot key restore.
So only real media kit disk work from HP.
not burned disks. not microsoft disk.
here is HP.
see them ask them for real disks,
Only real disk work now,
i bet yours are burned disks, right>? and fail.
if the HDD is new, and passes the BIOS hDD test.
then your CD disks are bad, or the drive is bad.
what we do is make install USB sticks.
and boot to them but on real old PC there is no BOOT TO USB choices in BIOS.
if true, this, then 3 things must be good.
1: HDD new and good. and passes HDD tests.
2: CD disk good. (real ones from HP work)
3: CD drive not bad, most are this old so... there you go. Bios set to boot to CD.
if those were real HP disksets.
id say the CD drive is bad. or used HDD bad.
why not get a linux install disk if that fails
the used HDD you bought is no good.
what i do is boot to Linux live CD then run extensive hDD tests now. this works on any pc made, doing that.

more sure. OS installs have many failure mode.
here are more. sure seen them all I have.
and cured them all.
1: battery bad, remove the large notebook battery.
2: falls dead, power pack bad.
3: fails still a power pack can be weak.
4: the LT mother board can have bad power regulators.
5: other mobo failures... lots.
PC are easy when the run (runs like a toaster sure)
but when they fail, not.
take a A+Certifications class and learn more.
here is a 3rd party disk site (media kit)
pick one and pray.
be wise to match your PC's bottom COA sticker.

Look carefully at the hard drive that you are replacing. When you take it out of the [mine is a Compaq f750us] computer you might see, for want of a better term, a "STRETCHER" attached to the contacts/connectors, remove it. Put it on the NEW hard drive, put hard drive into computer. Try it again. I did and I did NOT get the "error" code! Why because the HD is now CONNECTED...touches the contacts..

When you stated that you tried to recover it several times, how were you able to attempt that if you have no video. You cannot see what you are doing.
Nonetheless, you GRAPHICS CHIP is shot. Your laptop is essentially dead. The system will power on but the graphic chip will not produce a video. Often people reflow these chips, however, they seldom last long and the video quality is compromised.
If you can see the video on an external monitor then your screen, LCD Inverter, or Video cable is bad. If you cannot see the video on an external monitor. Your graphic chip is dead. End of the road for your system. Don't waste your time and money on the reflow.
Good luck

Your hard drive is bad. That is what the SMART test is telling you. Replace the hard drvie.

hi
Did you create any partitions on the HDD?
Obviously the HDD or some partitions on the HDD are corrupt.
In my opinion, you should firstly try to format the whole HDD and delete also whole partitions.
Then insert the recovery CD and try to install the Toshiba image
