    I was wondering, does any other computer brand have dual hard drives as HP dv8000? And would it be possible to run two operating systems on both hard drives, that is - have XP on the c drive and Vista beta 2 on the other?

    I dont know about the first question. But the second one is possible. You can also run both Vista Beta 2 and XP on one hard drive for that matter by partitioning.

    Thank you both for your replies. I could buy a business HP notebook (superb looking), but I'm leaning toward HP dv8200t because of its large hard drive space - I'm seriously thinking of buying one with 240 gb; but I will look into the dual hard drive models by Toshiba and Alienware
