Do you really want <Product> and <Price> to be associated by position?
 That's a very poor choice if you have control over it, as it makes
processing them so much harder later...

You probably want an extra element called <Harddisk> in there eg:

<Harddisks>
  <Harddisk>
    <Product>..
    <Price>..
  </Harddisk>
  <Harddisk>...
      <Product>
      <Price>...
   </
</

Either way grouping the elements is easy enough, something like:

<xsl:for-each-group select="*" group-by="name()">
  <xsl:element name="current-grouping-key()">
 ....
