Replacing Laptop HArd drive

ev8321 · 03-04-2008, 06:28 AM

Hi guys,

just wondering if anyone could shed some light on hard drives.
I have a hp dv4000 and the hard drive displays as a defective device.
It's basically stuffed beyond repair.

The hard drive is a hitachi trvelstar ATA/IDE 4200rpm
model:IC25N060ATMR04-0
p/n: 08k0863
I have gone to the companies website and run their software to no avail.
says defective device.

I cannot find the exact model on ebay to buy and was just wondering what type of hard drive i need to buy.

1) This drive is says ATA/IDE, does this mean i cannot use sata?
2) Also, do i have to get something with the same rpm? i.e. 4200rpm
3) Are all laptop hard drives the same size? (width x length)?

If anyone no's any good cheap sites or is selling a hdd please let me know.

Thanks for any information in advance.
