This is looks easy. I think it would work for a Dell Inspiron 600m too. Any advice on what brand and size of hard drive? The original one was a Hitachi 30gb drive and I would like to at least double it. Since I can't find it at Dell.com, I can get it from Ebay.

@wzb3 - It would probably be cheaper to buy a bigger drive - around a 120 or 250GB, since these are the standard nowadays.

what did u mean by 2:43 plz?

will we lose the date after removing/replacing ?

@mnb222 - When changing your hard drive, the replacement drive will have no data on it. Therefore you will need to re-install your operating system and all software etc from scratch.

My harddrive dead on my dell and I would like to replace it myself> what is the best type of hardrive to get or does it matter its a latitdud d630 . Thanks in advance :)

@MochaSmooth247 - Go for a Seagate Momentus. They are pretty quiet in operation and also run cooler then usual. Cant beat em'!

If you want better then a hard drive, but dont want to spend as much on a SSD drive - check out the Momentus XT - it comes in between both.....

I already know how to replace it but where do you buy the parts?

I just replaced the motherboard in a Dell 1300 laptop with the mb from a donor unit. Everything bolted right up but now I can't get the original HDD to slide into the connector in the HDD bay. Looking at the old MB, the connector looks just like the new MB. The HDD carriage looks the same as well. Any idea what might be causing this. The HDD fits in the bay but won't quite fully seat. I've used a reasonable amount of force but I don't want to break anything.
