    I dont do a lot of video or music or photo work and thus dont need a high capacity HD. I want a fast hard drive with low capacity, and HP doesn't offer this in their custamization section. Is it possible to just plug one in and install VISTA with the System recovery DVD?

    By today's standards 100 GB is "small".

    HP has a 100 GB 7200RPM option. You want smaller than that?
