Hi:

 

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

 

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00442578.pdf

 

The drive you need to replace your old one with is an IDE drive.

 

80 GB is the largest drive that your PC came with. 

 

Do not exceed 120 GB, or you may have issues (like the drive not being recognized in the BIOS).

Re: presario m2000 hard drive

the manuals do not specify the type, just the size, I have spent about 4 hours so far just trying to get the right type to order, your supplers were no help either

I don't work for HP.

 

Google the part number like I did for any of the hard drives, and you will find descriptions of them being IDE drives.

 

For example:
