Grrrr. Friggin HP. Evidently I cannot install a drive smaller than the one it is replacing. I tried installing a copy of windows seven that I downloaded but that did not work. Anybody have another work around? The original hard drive is still working for now.

The restore CD/DVD doesn't like the smaller drive size?

 

I don't know if there's a workaround for that, but the Win 7 download should have worked. I've downloaded it before and then used the OEM key on the sticker to activate, when I didn't have media available.
