Are all harddrives the same?
I was wanting to swap labtop harddrives and I was wondering if all labtop harddrives are universal? the two labtops i am working with is a compaq presario 1200 and a dell inspiron 8100... Anybody know the answer? or know where I can find a website that I can search for the correct hard drives for each and compare myself?

Well it depends really, I dont think theres a real problem, but I've never installed laptop hard drives before. I think there may be some difference, but I don't think they vary that much, unless it's Mac to Pc, but I'm not sure..
Take them both out and have a looksee, theoretically, if they have the right number of pins for the cable, it should be fine. |

Laptop harddrives are the same, no matter which laptop harddrive you buy. All of them are 2.5" IDE.
