Hi,

The drive on the link below is an example of one that would be fine for your notebook.  You are in no way restricted to this particular HDD or manufacturer, it's purely a personal preference on my part.

500Gb Hard Drive

The procedure to replace the Hard Drive starts on Page 59 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.

Once done, simply use your Recovery DVDs to reinstall the Operating System on the new drive.

If you don't have your Recovery Discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.

If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

If you live in the US, contact HP Here.

If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
