A couple of details:
* The HP hard disk doesn't seem to be standard (did anyone notice
this?). The 2.5" toshiba HD i bought doesn't fit perfectly in my
laptop due to the connector, and my damaged Seagate (FUCK THEM!) HD
doesn't fit in the LG USB box... So it seems that if warranty doesn't
cover me, i only can purchase a new HD from HP
(ñlfaddsfñhñ#&%fhadsifas!!!))
* There seems to be LOTS of bad blocks. Did anyone experience this
before? Luckily, my shop offers me a 3-year warranty... i'll try to
explain them what's a bad block with linux (don't know if they have
even heard about it) and let's see what happens.

Same thing happened to my harddrive (while it was under warranty). I
just explained to them the hard was failing and got it repaired.
Common problem, and not Linux related. Though their tech support will
ask you to install windows.
--I, too, want to ask questions about replacing the hard drive. Mine
still works alright, but I would like a bigger and faster one. Last
year I read on this board that the BIOS will accept only a few hard
drives (or other peripherals for that matter; it will reject all
micro-PCI wifi cards other than the hated Broadcom, to bring up another
example). So, how can I replace my hard drive? (It seems to be easily
accessible.) What brands would be acceptable to the BIOS? I think I
read that people successfully replaced their hard drives.
Let me say this: Had I known of all these dirty tricks HP has been
pulling off, I would have NEVER bought this laptop!
