Why do it the hard way? If your HDD is bad, most probably the system files are corrupted too and getting/making a bootable CD from the HDD files is just wasting your effort. If you laptop CD/DVD drive is still good, then use the options below: -
1. Go to any torrents site download
"hp oem xp" disc from the site & burn the bootable image to a CDR.
2. Go the the
Hp support Site & download the XP drivers for your Laptop model.
3. Then you can do a new installations on your Laptop.
Hope it helps.
