    Hi,
    I just got my dv2500t today,
    and I downloaded the notebook hardware control to monitor the temp, since the left palm is considerable warm
    But it only displays the cpu temp, and the harddrive temp stays at 0, no way.

    So, what are you using to monitor your temp?

    btw, my harddrive is Hitachi.
    thanks

    The HDD temps don't usually show up on HP lappys.
    Don't know why

    You need to run it with admin privileges.
