    I was hoping to put an aftermarket hard drive in my dv2000t but I also wanted windows media center. Is there any way to get HP to allow you to configure media center with the 40gb HD option instead of the 80 gb it wants you to buy?

    I just went to the HP shopping website and I was able to configure the Windows Media Center with a 40 gig HD. You sure it wouldn't allow you to do that?

    I just tired to do it again. It will not let me.

    It tells me that choosing windows media center requires an 80 gb HD configuration. Anyone else getting this?
