My pc is a HP Pavilion dv9232eu (dv9000 series)
Okay heres the thing, i just got my new laptop harddisk (7200RPM and 160GB) and my laptop got 2 harddisk holes (yay). BUT... i need a special converter thing (see the last pics).. (not sure if its a HP thing or a general thing)
Okay heres some pics ive taken,
My newbought harddisks SATA outthingys:

The hole the harddisk must sit in in the computer:

Another pic of the thing the harddisk must plug into in the computer (as i prev pic)

The default harddisk with its converter and its "hard drive bay" which i am not SURE (please tell if it is) needed for a new harddisk.

The default harddisk without its converter but still with the drive bay on:

One side of the converter:

And the other side:

Now, my questions are following:
* Do i need the harddrive bay when i insert another harddisk? If yes, then where to buy it?
* Where can i get such converter and what is the name for it?
Thanks in advance for answering these questions. I appreciate that.

You need a hard drive caddy. HP used to sell a kit with a caddy. There are a few threads disccusing this issue. Search for them.
