HP 9000t series notebooks

I have the dv9334. Can the DVD+RW DL drive be taken out and changed in the future or no? like to a hd-dvd rom or something

thanks much

 

With enough skill any part can be replaced. HP already has a HD-DVD-ROM option. I'm guessing that drive will fit.

I have that very HD-DVD drive, came with my laptop. It is a decent drive BUT it only burns DVDs at 4x so you compromise speed for playing HD-DVDs
