    If you open the cover you should be able to see the numbers...brand, capacity, etc, printed on it without removing it - you're probably looking for the model number, not serial number, right?

    Yup model number. A hard drive recovery company lost it after allegedly conducting an attempt at a stage 3 recovery (for 80 bucks). I want to give them a fair chance to find it before I sue them.

    as a FYI those part numbers are the HP part number... not ALL HP computers will have the HP part number sticker on the hard drive.
