    Unfortunately, HP does not sell just the bracket for the second hard drive. If you really want to install a second drive, you will probably have to make do with some foam padding, instead. :mad:

    I'm in the same condition you are, and that's what I've come up with.

    HP as far as I know have not sold the bracket without selling a hard drive bundled with it, which they sell it at exorbitent prices. The only other way is to see if someone is selling it on ebay or if you can find some old ones from non working HP laptops at a local computer repair center.
