Description

The listing, 20Gb IDE laptop drive, cleaned has ended.

20 gig IDE hard drive for laptop. Just cleaned the old operating system off so it's ready for you to load your favorite o.s. If nothing else, it would be a great little drive to store documents on or as backup. FREE SHIPPING in U.S. If bidding outside U.S., let me know where you are and I'll let you know what shipping costs are for you decide on that. Figure it will weigh about 12 ounces (about 375 grams).

Greetings, sorry about the delay in response... I may have an 80Gig coming up if I can't get my darned laptop back into the world of the living.

will this work in a dell latitude d600??

If yours has the pin configuration that goes almost the full width of the hard drive, it should work.

Is this a 2.5

Dec 9th, 2013 at 10:50:54 AM PST by

Yes, I believe it is. It's the small version of hard drives they put in laptops.

This is a SATA drive not an IDE drive FYI.

Dec 10th, 2013 at 7:18:54 AM PST by

IDE is all I have, not SATA.

will this fit a Compaq presario f700 laptop I been looking for one and I am having the worse luck ever

Dec 10th, 2013 at 4:56:37 PM PST by

Yes, it should. However, there may be a little "cage" or surround that you'll need to remove and put on the new drive.

will this fit my Compaq F700 laptop???

Dec 11th, 2013 at 10:41:19 AM PST by

Odds are good it will. But the best way to find out is to turn the thing over, locate the hard drive (could be under a plastic lid that's secured by a couple screws or slid in from one of the sides and secured that way). It's best to just go to your favorite search engine and ask, "location of hard drive on Compaq F700."

Just making sure this is is an IDE because the other person make the remark that it wasn't, and I definately need an IDE/PATA ( I believe they are the same) and judging from what I can make out of the pics, where you have the 20gb circled, I think it says there Pata/IDE, however the P letter I cant see. I'm just making sure it isn't a SATA. Also, just making sure that it is a Laptop Hard Drive. You said it is wiped, does it need to be partitioned, reformatted, before putting on an OS? And it is a good drive, no viruses or errors/bad sectors, yes? I'm really Sorry with all the questions, I hope your not irritated, I'm just trying to make sure I get the right thing. :) THAnk you for your time. :)

No problem with the questions. I welcome them to make sure the bidders are aware of what they are bidding on. Only makes sense. This is an IDE (parallel) drive, like the ones they made before the SATA (Serial) came out. I believe it is a 40-pin configuration that runs almost the width of the drive, as can be seen (kind of) in my picture. And no, there was no virus, and it was working fine until the screen went pixel up. I know that XP and many versions of Linux will load right up. The only reason I wiped it (used "Killdisk") was because of personal information. I hope this helps. Gary

So, if its wiped, it will have to be partitioned and reformatted for whatever your using it for...32bt, 64, or whatever. :)

Dec 13th, 2013 at 10:46:59 AM PST by

I'm not a computer expert, but I imagine so. Keep in mind this was not a "low format" which destroys the drive as far as us consumers are concerned. If you'd like to find out more about how Killdisk performs its magic, check out "Active Killdisk" through your favorite search engine. Thanks for the question. Gary

Are there bad sectors in this hard drive? Does it function properly? thanks!

Dec 13th, 2013 at 10:47:52 AM PST by

Killdisk indicated no bad sectors when it erased the drive. And yes, it functioned well before I removed it from my broken laptop. I just wanted to erase personal data. Gary

will this work in dell latitude d600 laptop??

Dec 14th, 2013 at 10:23:08 AM PST by

Greetings. Indeed, it should as long as your system takes an IDE drive. IDE drives were used in all laptops until the SATAs came out. I'm not sure when that was, but I'd guess mid-2000's, maybe 2006? Not sure. Turn your laptop over, look for an icon printed on a door held down with screws that looks like platters stacked up. This is a visual for hard drive compartment. Remove the screws and lift the cover. You should be able to remove the drive -- gracefully, please. Then look at the pin hookup. If it looks like the one in my picture, it will work. Good luck in bidding. Gary
