HDD compatiblity?

[Etherton]

Will this drive work in a Compaq Pesario C500.

Just want to make sure before I order something I don't need. Thanks for any help!

it will fit. As long as that presario will see up to 250 gigs of drive there should be no issues. I would think so but dont know for sure.

I just pulled out the old drive and it is a 80gb Seagate st980811as not the C556CA: 120GB listed on HPs site.

but thats just a option. Does not mean you could not order it with a 150.

Good deal. Thanks for your help!

I just got it and it worked. Now a question about his (my little brothers) old HDD? It is a SATA so could I plug it into my desktop to see if I can rescue any of his pictures from it? Just plug in the SATA & power right?

Yup, make sure its not in the boot order.
