Compaq Presario S6100NX hard drive replacement

I have a Compaq Presario S6100NX desktop computer. A few days ago, the hard drive does not in it and now I have to go buy a new one. I preference as a used one that works (EBay) or find a good deal at Amazon or Newegg.com. Here is a link to the specs of my computer... (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00055286)

Now, it's the hard drive I found on EBay: (http://cgi.ebay.com/80GB-HDD-Hard-Drive-Desktop-PC-Internal-IDE-ATA-80-GB-/380258524610?pt=LH_Defaul...)

Now, would be this hard drive on EBay to replace failure in my computer now? It would be the right pair?

Make the current hard drive and number is:

WDC WD800BB-22KKAO (I 'Googlé' this drive hard and couldn't find a lot for a ridiculous price)

Sorry about the back - and forth report but any useful comment.

Thank you

Bradley

Yes, one on ebay will work, when you remove the old drive, check the jumper setting, be sure the new drive is jumper the same before you install it.

Beware, it is sold WITHOUT WARRANTY "such what."

  • How can I replace a compaq presario C762NR hard drive and reinstall windows?

    My friend brought me his computer and said that he would not start. I tried to boot into safe mode and normal mode and it would not work. It would simply flash a blue screen and restart. After you run a test it is determined that the hard drive has failed. A new laptop is not an option at this point.

    I bought a new hard drive and I ordered the HP recovery disk. What are the appropriate steps to complete this replacement?

    The computer is out of warranty and so is the hard drive. The computer has Windows Vista on it. The failed hard drive was 160 gb, 2.5 ", SATA 1.5 gb/s, 8 MB cache. The news is the same except that it is SATA 3 gb/s.

    This is my first time, replacing a hard drive. I'm confident about it, but I want to just make sure I do it correctly.

    Hello

    All you have to do after replacing the HARD drive is the following.

    Start Notepad and open the CD/DVD drive.  Insert the first disc of recovery.  Hold the power button until the laptop stops.  Press the power button to start the laptop that should now boot from the recovery disk and start the recovery process.

  • HP Compaq Presario V5000 Hard drive caddy missing

    Good day everyone, my father bought a Compaq Presario V5000 to a garage sale and sent it here in the Philippines. to the arrival of the package, I tried to run the laptop, but diagnoses in bios option said that there is no HARD drive installed. subsequently done I discovered that not only the HARD drive broke, but the caddy was missing as well. is it advisable to use a newly purchased HARD drive without the caddy? Another question, about the specified capacity and speed, acoorcing to the specifications listed in the internet, this unit can handle up to 120 GB of HARD disk, at 4200 RPM / min. that explains why the Windows XP Setup program said that there wasn't any see hard drives when I tried to use a larger HARD drive capacity? What speed? Let's say I have a 120 GB HARD drive but speed is 5400 RPM, will it still work? Thank you very much

  • Compaq Presario V3000 hard drive question

    My computer can not detect the hard drive and I want to replace it.  I know it's a 60 GB hard drive, but that's all the info I can get on it.  How can I tell if it's a SATA drive or not?

    Thanks for your help!

    Remove the hard drive. There will be a label on the disc that will specify its type. It is the fastest and most reliable to determine what type it is.

  • This hard drive is compatible with my laptop? Apple 80 GB HDD 3.5 SATA for my Compaq CQ62, the hard drive that I have for that one is a "WD 500 GB 2.5 SATA II.

    I plan to buy an Apple 80 GB hard disk 3.5 SATA for my Compaq CQ62, the hard drive that I have for you is a "WD 500 GB 2.5 SATA II.

    Ports appear as it will keep and everything, but I'm curious to know, if I get this drive, I'll be able to install my Macintosh on that hard drive and use it on my laptop Compaq CQ62 or not?
    If this isn't the case, then I'll be able to install Windows 7 or uBuntu on this hard drive? The hard drive will fit even on my laptop? Thank you!

    Why you want to replace a 500 GB with a 80 GB drive it?

    Macintosh is not an operating system

    A 80 GB drive is too small for a win7 PC

  • HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC Hard Drive replacement

    Hello

    I have HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC, and I had problems with hard disk of the guarantee period. for example I buy in 2010 and had a hard drive replaced in 2011 and 2012. Next time, he failed in 2013 (almost 11 months apart on average).

    The last time it failed, the warranty has expired so I thought to give it a try as employment through fixing/amortization of bad sector seagate software, Toshiba... that came out of Smart Drive Error.

    I use the HARD drive for some time now, but want to be ready for the next round and I don't know that he's going to be gone for good next time.

    Current HARD disk is 640 GB, 7200 RPM hard drive (replaced in 2012). HP 621046-001 manufacturer.

    When replacing, can I use ANY hard drive 640 GB? Can I use a hard drive that is higher than 640 GB? Different RPM?

    Any suggestions on hard drive?

    The recovery discs I had received with the replacement drive did not work properly. I had to use the first game I had created just after I bought the laptop.

    Thank you.

  • I had my hard drive replaced on my Toshiba lap top and my windows 7 is no longer considered as authentic code has rubbed off the sticker on the base of my lap top. Where can I find it?

    I had my hard drive replaced on my Toshiba lap top and my windows 7 is no longer considered as authentic code has rubbed off the sticker on the base of my lap top. Where can I find it?

    Option 1:

    If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

    Option 2:

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

    Option 3:

    If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

  • My Mac has crashed. Reinstalling my operating system or hard drive replacement will cause me to lose my Adobe Master Suite?

    I bought my Macbook Pro 17 (it's a Mid-2009, running Cougar 10.8.4) used on eBay, and it came with Adobe Master Suite CS5. I pursued a degree in graphic design, and the computer had everything that I needed to start. Now that I'm out of College, I rely heavily on InDesign and Photoshop to get the job done. However, after five years of loyal service without problem, my Mac has crashed and I have never used time Machine. I might have to reinstall Mountain Lion or replace the hard drive. Reinstalling my operating system or hard drive replacement will cause me to lose my Adobe Master Collection of applications? I can save them somehow?

    Any reply and help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your time.

  • The recovery disks do not work for the hard drive replaced in my Presario CQ4010F desktop PC

    Hi all

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ4010F Desktop PC (Windows 7 64-bit) in which the hard drive went bad. I bought a new hard drive which is a 1 to, the failed drive was 500 GB. So, I ordered disks system recovery, four in total. The disk labeled 'Use this first!' appear to be running fine, then prompted me to launch the next disc, which I assume is the 1 of 3 system recovery disk. With the computer, always, I inserted the CD 1 of 3 and have waited and watched as nothing has happened. I restarted the PC with the 3 disc 1 again and that will inspire nothing happened. Any help is appreciated in this matter.

    Hello:

    If you can't get the recovery disks to work (don't make sure that the keyboard, mouse and monitor are connected), then you can make your own windows 7 installation DVD and use that to at least get windows 7 installed and your PC back to the operation.

    Here's how.

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

    Hi all, computer dummy here and I need help.

    the Seagate Momentus 250 gb 5,400 RPM hard drive failed completely on my Compaq Presario CQ70.

    I bought a new Seagate Momentus 500 gb 7,200 RPM.

    I had Windows Vista installed on my laptop.

    but when I'm the new hard drive, I tried to install Windows XP (that I don't have a Vista disc).

    just black screen and after a while, blue screen saying windows has been closed.

    When I go into the BIOS I do not see the hard drive and everything, but I can run a hard drive test and it passes.

    I have removed and reinserted the hard drive and run the XP OS several times but still the same.
