I'd imagine it'd be a bit of a git to install onto initally...

You wont very easily, Compaq can be a right pain in the arse.

They often feck around with firmware too so you have to use their parts :mad:

In all fairness a generic 2.5in laptop HDD should be ok though, certainly worth a bash!

I've just bought one from there.
Very fast and relatively cheap.
Think it was £60 for a 30GB laptop HDD.

Seen a laptop for sale very cheap. But the Hard drive supposed to be broken. Does any one know where I can find a laptop hard drive, its got to suitable for a compaq armada M700 laptop.
