Presario 1700 Hard drive
I am having difficulty with the hard drive in my presario. Lately it makes funny noises and I have been getting blue screen and operating system not found errors. I have backed up all important data and I want to replace the hard drive but before I break open the case I wanted to ask some questions.
How do I find out what kind of hard drive I have? (maker, and interface) Where is the hard drive located in the 1700 Presario? What is the best way to remove it? What should I replace it with? (a reliable maker) What are other things should I consider? Where should I buy one? (I always been a fan of newegg) Thanks  |

I found the answers to the questions above incase somebody else has to replace a hard drive on a compaq presario 1700T (see below). But I have one more question. The hard drive in my presario has an ATA-5 interface, can I use an ATA-6 drive?
How do I find out what kind of hard drive I have? (maker, and interface) - IBM Travelstar ATA-5 Where is the hard drive located in the 1700 Presario? - Left side of the touch pad, opposite side of the disk drive and battery. What is the best way to remove it? - Remove one screw and open the small panel. The hard drive comes out with the panel. What should I replace it with? (a reliable maker) - I purchased another travelstar (ATA-6, 7200 rpm, 8mb cache, 40GB). Where should I buy one? - bought it at newegg.com Last edited by SickVVidit; 10-08-2004 at 03:36 PM. |
