If you go to hp.com you can download all the manuals. One of them will have a diagram about replacing the hard drive.

Why are you changing out the disk? Are you replacing the disk drive with one from HP that comes preloaded with their software for your computer.

If you are just adding a larger drive, I would locate the C: drive and right above t there should be an expansion slot that you could use. The drive would automatically become drive "D".

If your operating system is XP or Vista, do not format the drive for "Fat32" Fat32 (File Allocation Table 32) is the older operating system's.

Umm Don, this is a laptop. Most do not have dual drive bays.
