If you took your E5500 HDD out and used it via a USB adapter on another machine running Mac OS X to do whatever was required, there's nothing wrong with that.

 

It looks like you manage to boot the OS X installer on that E5500, right? I would suggest we try to identify the exact PCI ids of your HDD controller. You could do that by placing the lspcidrv kext (if you do not already have it) in /E/E of your installer (run myFix (quick) on it afterwards) and once booted up to main installer screen, go to Utilities->Terminal and type lspci -nn. That will hopefully give us the full hardware specs of that laptop and it may turn out that we need to patch the IOATAFamily kext. I remember helping a forum user to do that and it fixed his HDD detection issue, so you never know...
