Hi,
I have an old XH535 with a 20 GB drive in it. I bought the laptop around
2002 or so.
Anyway, a friend gave me an 80 eide 2.5" drive, so I thought I'd swap them
out.
Thing is, I don't see where the drive is or how to get to it. Neigher
access panal on
the back has a drive under it. One has a card plugged into a slot, and the
other
has two 128 MB sodimms under the panal.
Thanks for any suggestions on how to find and get to the hard drive. I only
found
other people asking the same question when I googled it.

HP has no help here http://peek.snipr.com/vo7qj HP Pavilion xh535
Notebook PC - How to Enhance your product�s performance with details on
how to use and maintain. - Adding / Replacing hardware -

.... or in the forum. Apparently when you order a hdd from HP they send
instructions for how to replace.

This conversation... http://peek.snipr.com/vo8av I'm trying to replace
a going-bad hard disk on a Pavilion xh535. Unlike other models, there is
no obvious access to the hdd. HP's website is no use. Any ideas about
accessing hdd on this model?

.... indicates that the hdd is under the keyboard.

It might be under the keyboard. Like this HP laptop:

You can see the hard drive under the person's left hand.

Hey, thanks for the tips, that must
be where it is, under the keyboard.
