When requesting assistance, please provide the complete model name and product number (p/n) of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq makes thousands of models of computers. Without this information it may be difficult or impossible to assist you in resolving your issue.

The above requested information can be found on the bottom , back or, side of your computer, or on the startup BIOS screen. DO NOT include your serial number.

Any hard hard drive should be able to work in your computer, provided it it is of the same interface type. After replacing the hard drive you may have to verify that it is seen by the BIOS.

After the hard drive has been replaced, use the HP Recovery Media that you created when you first setup the computer to return the computer to a factory like state. If you didn't create this media, the media will need to be purchased from HP Customer Support for a nomimal fee. This method may only be valid in the US and Canada. Contact customer support and see if you can request the media
