I just got a dv6000t and the area right by the hard drive gets REALY hot. I'm not sure who the drive manufacturer is, but the drive is a 120GB 5400RPM one does anyone else here have similar problem with their dv6000t/v6000tx/dv6500t?

Mine can get really hot while folding if it's not on its cooling pad, what are you doing with yours? Granted, mine's an Inspiron E1505, not an HP, but that shouldn't matter, what should matter is who made your drive. DL Speedfan or something and find out, then google the model number and see what you come up with. My drive is a Toshiba MK1032GSX, it will show up under the S.M.A.R.T. tab.
