HP Pavilion dv9000 Laptop Hard Drive Installation Guide
For purposes of this discussion, we will refer to all HP Pavilion dv9000, dv9000t, dv9300, dv9400, dv9002ea, dv9002tx, dv9060us, dv9061ea, dv9700, dv9800, dv9900 notebooks as the "dv9000" since adding a hard disk drive (HDD) to all above mentioned notebooks are similar.
To begin, you will have to purchase a SATA 2.5" hard drive and a "dv9000 hard drive caddy". Make sure the caddy includes the SATA connector (black plastic piece, see photo below) that acts as an interface between the SATA hard drive and the HP notebook computer. Our part number HP-DV9000 includes the black SATA connector, dv9000 bracket and drive screws. This part is equivalent to HP part number 367759-001.
STEP 1
Insert the black "SATA Connector" into the "edge connector" on the end of the SATA hard drive. The SATA connector will only go in one way. Then insert the hard drive into the dv9000 caddy/bracket. Use the four screws to secure the hard drive into the pavilion dv9000 caddy/bracket.
STEP 2
Turn your notebook OFF. Unplug your power cable and all other devices attached to your notebook. Turn the dv9000 notebook over so you can see the bottom or your notebook. Use a small phillips-head screw driver to loosen the two screws that are securing the cover of the second hard drive bay
STEP 3
Remove the cover of the Second Hard Drive Bay
STEP 4
Insert your "assembled" dv9000 caddy + SATA hard drive into the empty drive bay

STEP 5
Replace "Drive Bay Cover" and secure again with the two phillips-head screws that came with the notebook.
dv9000 hard drive installation complete!
Note 1: If you are installing a NEW hard drive (drive that has not been formatted/partitioned), you may have to format/partition your new drive after you install it as a second drive in the Pavilion dv6000 Batteries notebook (or else you may not see the second hard drive when you boot up the notebook)
To format and partition your newly installed 2nd hard drive
Note 2: If you have installed the 2nd hard drive and your laptop is hanging/not booting, check if your new drive is a 3GB/s drive. If it is a 3GB/s drive, you may have to set a jumper on the new hard drive to bring it down to 1.5GB/s.

How do I switch setting for my hard drives on a laptop?
A few months ago,my computer screwed up and i had to reinstall windows vista.The problem is that every thing was installed on my smaller hard drive and now its running out of space.Is there any way i can Switch all my files to the bigger one and make that one my primary?
I'm assuming both drives are already hooked up to your laptop. If you installed programs on your smaller one, you can't just transfer them to the bigger one. You need to uninstall them on the small one and then reinstall them on the big one. Individual files like music and video files can be simply cut and pasted to your bigger hard drive to free up some space. Or you can just keep your smaller one the way it is and put any future programs/files on your bigger one. It's okay to have different programs installed on different drives or even files for a certain program on a different drive than the one the program was installed on (e.g., your itunes music folder could be on drive X while itunes itself is installed on drive Y). This can get confusing and cumbersome though as both drives always need to be on.
