Need to replace HDD in Dad's HP 2000 Laptop - Where can I find out what is compatible​?

Prod B5F64UA#ABA is the product code
It is a 500 in there now (that failed just out of warranty)
We have recovery disks so we can rebuild from them once we get at drive (found those instructions)

Hi,
You can buy new same capacity or larger (ie 750Gb or even 1Tb) because the recovery set may not fit to smaller HDD. My suggestion buy a 7200RPM HDD which has bigger cache such as one of the following HDD's:

other vendors have similar products.

  • I have an iPhone 4S that is a replacement of a defective 4s and it shows over 3Gb of data backed up in the cloud from my old 4s. How can I find out what is in this backup? It is preventing me from backing up my new 4s to the cloud due to the amt of data.

    I have an iPhone 4S that is a replacement of a defective 4s. When I activated the newer phone, I believe I transferred over everything except pictures (had multiple failures trying to backup and restore). Now the phone shows over 3Gb of data backed up in the cloud from my old 4s. How can I find out what is in this backup? It is preventing me from backing up my new 4s to the cloud due to the amt of data. It may be duplicated info that I don't need or I may want to archive the backup or parts of it like pictures.

    You can not access the backup directly.
    Did you restore your replacement from this backup?
    If so then you already have everything in the backup on your device.
    If not, you can wipe the device and restore from this backup:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
    What is it you are worried about losing that isn't already on your current device?

  • How can I find out what kind of battery my computer uses in order to buy a replacement?

    I purchased a new Macbook Pro 13" in January 2012. Unfortunately, I did not purchase Apple Care. My trackpad seems to have taken on a life of it's own. I'm guessing this is due to a swollen battery. How can I find out what kind of battery my computer uses in order to buy a replacement?

    Thanks, but the website says I need a 32 bit processor so presumably a 64 bit processor is no good? Or can a 64 bit automatically do everything a 32 bit one can do?
    Where is the link that says you need a 32 bit processor?  On my MBA, in the past I've ran both Office for Mac and Windows 7 (MS Office) via Parallels (Bootcamp does the same thing).  I chose installing Windows 7 in the 32 bit mode ONLY because I have a couple of other legacy Windows programs that only run in 32 bit mode.

  • When I was on facebook a few times, I get a message that says I need to install plug ins. It has a button to push to find out what plug in I need, but nothing happens when I click on it.

    My computer has Windows XP, I also have Mozilla Firefox. I don't understand why sometimes, a bar appears across the screen, where the tabs should be , and it says I need to install plug ins. It has a button that says, install, and one that says, click here to find out what plug ins you need. I've tried pressing both of them on different occasions but no luck. Can someone Please Help me??

    Checking your list of plugins, a common plugin that you do not have is Java, it may be trying to install that one. You can get it from http://java.com/

  • I need help can i find out what device request a password reset.

    I dont check my email very often and when i did i had a email from apple saying how do i rest my password. they sent it to me on 8/15/13 at 2:30pm. also i went to my icloud account and noticed i only have 1 ipod and my sons iphone registered. i did have 2 ipods and my sons iphone. so i need some help finding out if i can get that email tracked back to the device. Also i had another email from 7/9/13.
    Your Apple ID,  was just used to download Paper Run from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID. You may also be receiving this email if you reset your password since your last purchase. that is what the 2nd email said. so now i am worried. if anyone can help lead me in the right derection. thank you

    I do not think you can find out on what device the purchases was made.
    I would change the password for your account.
    You can also contact iTunes and see what they can do

  • I need to upgrade my MacBook Pro from 10.5.8 - where can I find Snow Leopard?

    I just upgraded my iPhone to os6 and now can't get into iTunes.  Can't upgrade iTunes because I'm still on 10.5.8.  Looks like I need to upgrade to Snow Leopard, then to Lion before I can buy Mountain Lion.  I can't seem to find Snow Leopard avaiable for purchase.  Can anyone help?

    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    If you need to purchase Snow Leopard contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $29.00 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    If you need to purchase Lion contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download.
    Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Are my applications compatible?

  • HT4847 How do I cancel my iCloud upgrade immediately? All I get is to to the iCloud support website and then I can't find out what I need to do.

    I want to cancel the iCloud upgrade that was charged to my credit card. This website is not very helpful and this is where I was told to go. I can't believe there is no phone number to be able to call. Anyone know what I need to do. I only have a few days to do this.

    You can cancel an iCloud storage upgrade within 15 days of buying: however Apple have made this as difficult as possible. If you use Express Lane you cannot proceed without entering a hardware serial number which is still eligible for AppleCare. Poster julia22 managed to find a way round it - please see this post:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16968425#16968425
    it gives the USA number - if you don't live there you will have to find an equivalent number from the 'Contact Us' link at bottom right of this page.
