Is the hard drive accessible for replacing should it fail?

That was one of my concerns. Second hand information: I saw a tear-down video of the TC. Careful handling of the connector is required, of course. Zero problems with mine, so far.

The HDD should be able to fit just fine. As to the recovery drive, unless there is already a second HDD in the system then the recovery drive is a partition on the the HDD that you want to replace.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're asking? If hard drives fail due to power issues..? If so, it's possible.

Can be retrofitted for Windows 7, but check the warranty first. Don't know about the hard drive.

No the hard drive doesn't work anymore and it's less than a years time. Also wd would not rma the product for me.

Yes, according to the manufacturer you can replace any drive at any time. Just be cautious if you use raid, you will need to be able to "split" you capacity in half so it is best to have a balanced distribution of drive capacity.

This decice should do the trick for you, as long as the old hard drive is not damaged

I read that it is replaceable. Here is the faq on the HP website on how to do it: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01336197&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=3660805 Apparently, you replace the hard drive, press the factory reset pin and it should work.

as long as your laptop takes a SATA drive, you should be able to use this drive to replace it. The drive will detect the capability of the system and adjust its transfer speed to remain compatible

Yes. Powering the harddrive may be an issue if the harddrive requires power from a separate power plug (ie. other than the data connector plug).

Hi Todd, a fixed battery is replaceable. If you feel comfortable enough doing it yourself you may; however, I suggest contacting the manufacturing company first. Sometimes fixed hardware can be difficult to replace yourself especially if the case is closed. In regards to the hard-drive question, both hard-drives are replaceable.

It did not do that for me. It tried to repair my system, but it didn't work, though it may not have been the disk's fault. I finally figured out the hard drive itself was failing and had to be replaced.

I had no issues. I took out one screw. Attatched the cable and slide the drive in replaced screw. It was a very simple process. I am no expert on computers. I can only share my experience with repairing it.

Yes. Check your PC it may have an extra power harness but you will definitely need a new SATA cable. FYI: I bought this drive and it died two weeks outside of it's unusually short warranty. Drives should be good for more than two years!

You will need to disconnect and power down the unit before opening it and replacing a failed HDD.

There isn't a hard drive. It's a SDD. You ca check Crucial.com, they have a scan tool that will evaluate your machine and recommend upgrades.

Yes, I used to to replace a hard drive on a Macbook Pro, and to fix a PS3 controller. Only thing you might want to get is a torx head set and a soldering set.
