I've got a Presario F730US and I'm pretty sure I broke the hard drive. It makes a funny clicking sound and it won't really load anything up anymore. I can get most of the desktop but it takes a long time and I can't really click on anything and open it up.
I took out the "suspect" hard drive and it is a Toshiba HDD2D62 MK1237GSX 120GB SATA: Drive Solutions, Inc.
I'd like to go to my local CompUSA, Circuit City or Best Buy and purchase another HD to replace it and then reinstall my disc (Vista, yuck!)
I was thinking about something like this: Seagate ST9120822AS Momentus 5400.3 120GB Mobile Hard Drive - 5400, 8MB, 2.5", SATA-150 at CompUSA.com
or this: Hitachi TravelStar 5K250 120GB 5400 8MB 2.5" Mobile SATA OEM Hard Drive 0A52126 at CompUSA.com
Is there any reason why either of these hard drives wouldn't work for me? Would they give me any problems while I try to load my original System Recovery DVD that came with my Compaq notebook?
Thanks
Danny
