Great tutorial, but I was wondering If all hard drives are the same size and shape? Can anyone help me out?

Recently bought a used Toshiba laptop. A friend had to order new Windows Vista Home Premuim discs since I didnt get them and the computer was having problems. He fixed it and everything looked alright. Two days later, I am now getting a notice that there is a hard disk problem, and that I need to backup my files. I believe I have backed up the files successfully, but now how do I repair the hard disk?

or is it just a new HDD and boom , finish?

my mom bought me a WD 500 gb external hard drive for christmas a while ago. i took the casing apart and looked at my laptops 160 HDD and it was the same class and voltage. SO i am happy i didnt have to spend any extra money. I can now use my old laptop HDD as an external. w00T!

Thanks for this vid which may have saved me the cost of a new PC. The one I have is fine, but only had 40gb hard drive, which is now down to 3gb. Was considering buying a new one, but I LOVE this one. Now I can get a friend to change the HD for me and keep my trusty steed!

[cheetawolf]

Can you use any Hardrive for a mac?

[dillonpapst]

Lol no It Would HAve To be For a MAc Book PRo Or What Ever You have But Like he said Search What ever You Computer is And Type- " MAC Book Pro 500 gb Hard drive" like that and ones that will fit and work with it should pop upo
