    Is every DV8000T capable of holding two hard drives, or is just certain ones?

    I think they all can. Keeping in mind you need a bracket for the second drive if you do not order a second drive with it.

    Ohh, that is nice. Where would I find a bracket if I needed one. I was thinking of setting up my laptop with windows installed on the 80GB 5400RPM. Then put all the other things I would be using, games, applications, etc, on the other HDD. The other one would be a 100GB 7200RPM. Then I would have an external hard drive with movies and music on it. I have A LOT of photoshop stuff. I also have LOTS of movies. I never really have music on my computer since I just throw it on my IPOD. That ZUNE looks nice though. :p

    You can order the HDD mounting kit form the HP Store.
    The order # is 434 106-01. I would check with HP to make sure it will fit your laptop.
