The hard drive on my HP Pavilion 500-267c already (I've only used the computer for 1 year) has a bad block, so I am looking for a replacement.
My questions: 1) What size hard drive must I purchase? Not capacity, but physical size. 2) How many bays are available? I would really like to purchase 2 drives and install them both inside the tower.
Thanks.

The system requires at least a 1TB hard drive. Example of what is used: SEAGATE 1TB 7.2K RPM SATA III 3.5 INCH LARGE FORM FACTOR LFF BARRACUDA NCQ ADVANCED. Although you did not want a suggestion concerning capacity, I will still suggest a max of 2TB. Anything larger requires special formatting parameters.
Now about adding a drive.... you will need to inspect the chassis. At this time, I was unable to determine the drive cage configuration. This example page is very generic, it shows both styles (single and multi).
