On this, the second to last day of our System Builder Marathon series, we add a $500 gaming PC to the mix. It's not going to be as quick as our other two builds, but we think Paul was able to get some serious value from this thing. Read more

I have an compaq presario 2100. s/n: cnf4291jmm p/n: pf180ua#aba and it also says presario 2104US...not sure. Anyway, in it I have a 30gb hard drive that has a number MK3025GAS, which i searched for on the internet and found this:

http://www.etech4sale.com/147158/t [...] 9.5mm.html

And this, I believe, is the same as the one I have. Now... I found other ones as well. Such as this one:

http://www.directron.com/st980815a.html

Now, I like this one because it has more hard drive space. My question is; what am I looking for when Im searching for a new notebook hard drive. Is it just the interface; such as interface ATA/100? I am a little new to notebooks so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Get the same interface, but get the fastest biggest one you can afford.

The thing that is confusing me is the connector on many of the hard drives that I see on the internet have a male pin connectors on them. My dead hard drive does not. It has a female connector.

Go to this website and you will see that your drive has pins once you remove the connector bar. There is a frame around your harddrive and the connector bar that you will need to take off your old drive and put on your new one.
