dx2300 replacement drive

‎06-01-2012 09:15 PM

I have a DX2300 .  The drive is dead. 

 

1.) I understand there are several types of SATA drives.  What types can be used in this pc?

 

2.)  What procedure is necessary to make a Seagate ST31000528AS (7200 RPM SATA drive, 32mb cache) work in this computer?

doncell6,

Excellent choice of drive. I have 6 of them.

Here is a guide, and you need a Torex 15 driver to remove the screws : http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00872974/c00872974.pdf

 

Do you have the Recovery disks needed to re-install the OS?

Thank you very much for your reply.  I do appreciate your help.

I have the recovery cd's but they make one giant C drive so I install the o/s manually.

 

The computer is working now.
