why does OS shutt down computer during load?

[craigest]

I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment Notebook (dv 1000)
when i try to load the OS (win XP Home), it gets to the point of creating the partition, then just shutts down the whole pc.
only once did it say that it dont detect any HDD. I set the cmos to default, try to run it again and it just shutts down my laptop
can anyone shed some lite on the matter?
