    Is the Hard Drive on the V2000 upgradable?
    Also can anyone tell me where its located and if it's easily swapable or do you have to take the hole notebook apart to do it.
    Thanks in advance.

    The HDD should be easily swappable. It should be located on the underside of the unit just below the fan (front of unit facing you). Just remove a couple screws to release the cover plate and you should have access to the drive. Here's an image of the underside of the unit.

    You're gonna need to take the mounting hardware off the old drive and transfer it to the new.

    Be careful as the connector attached to the HDD pins will be fragile and good luck!
