Last ditch......beyond this, I can only suggest ordering the HP drive that was in there (the M527 can use with a standard or encrypted drive).
Go into the Pre-boot menu, Format the disk and try reloading the firmware again.

Thanks Lance15
I could do that but the issue is it will take two weeks to order and get the Original HP HDD client doesn't have any backup printers.

I had a very similar problem with a M4555. Bad HDD. replaced with similar HDD, Formatted in Administrator mode. Loaded Firmware.
Would not fully boot and come to ready state. stuck on booting screen.
My fix was to take the formatter with the new HDD to a different 4555. Installed, powered on, and the display went immediately to updating software <do not power off>.
After booting to ready, I returned The formatter and new HDD to the original device and it operated normally.
After all is said and done, More is said than done.
d7guitar Thank you,
Sounds very hopeful, Let me try this one.

I wonder if it's one of those deals where the HD is married to the formatter, and have to be replaced together. Or somehow tricked into thinking they were replaced together.
That sums it up, BTW i just quit on that Printer.

This is the correct solution, for anyone else coming to this thread, the link below is the full procedure once you have the new drive.
