Slaving the drive is a good idea given your circumstance. But however you do it,

They assist the BIOS (ie stores the drivers for the CD/DVD Drive and provides the computer with further instructions) Then Windows is booted from the MBR at the 1-partition. The drivers and files are available from HP/COMPAQ. They are not on the Recovery CD.
cheers
They reside before the MBR. If you put the MBR in the 0-partition was suggested... you will not be able to boot from the CD/DVD Drive.
Connection refused, try again later.

maybe you just need to load the drivers for the controller into winblows...
im not sure but i think afew dv5000's used SATA drives... that was kind of a pain when we were doing restores on comps at work.
just research into what controller you have and load the drivers onto a floppy... hit F6 durring setup to load your driver and bam!
You can see the sata drive i have on my comp but can not install windows untill you load the drivers..
