Hi,
maybe there is a way to turn the mouse pad off. Why not go to the store you 
bought it at and see if they can offer some tech support or call hp. I would 
think there would be a way to disable the mouse pad.

Probably not, as the mousepad on HP laptops is very sensitive. Like Rania, I 
just got used to it and try to keep my hand away from the mousepad, and now 
I very rarely bump it. Brandon, you can try it and see if it works, though; 
I'm just making an educated guess here.
