The H55xx series of Ipaq does not update the display when the bootloader
runs. It does buzz once when the bootloader starts.
It is accessible via the serial cable, and a program like Hyperterminal
can be used to access it as a serial console from Windows.
>From memory (and I have not done this in some years) you issue a 
	load root
command in the serial console and then send the root image via zmodem.
Once complete you issue a
	boot
command and root image should boot.

Hope this helps
