I know Dell sometimes makes you take out your laptop hard drive before you send it to them to get it fixed for privacy purposes. Will HP do the same or is it required for them to look at whats on your hard drive too? Also, the Hp i have comes with the 1 year warranty. Thanks.
Depends on what your problem with the laptop is, but you should always assume that you will lose any data this is on the hard drive if you send it in for warranty repair.

I have a Toshiba Tecra 8000, Pentium 2, 350mhz laptop.
I need to purchase a new hard drive for this machine because the old one died.
Will any random laptop hard drive work? Are there limitations on how big a drive the machine will support?
Any 9.5mm high laptop ATA (or PATA) drive should work... the BIOS should run anything you can buy.
I've bumped every laptop I've bought up to the biggest disk I could get and tehy all worked fine.

My friends hard drive recently crashed and I am wonder if there is a cable that will connect to the laptop hard drive and then to my laptop, as an external drive using USB. If so where could i get one? If so, are would all laptop hard drives use the same cable? The hard drive im trying to hook up is a Western Digital (WD1200BEVS).
Thanks!
Yes there is a cable like that...go to e-bay and buy one or get 1 from Best Buy.

Trying to put together a computer from used parts. Can't get it to recognize the hard drive but it sees the scsi card.By the way, what is that?
yes you can provided the hard drive has an IDE interface rather than a SATA interface. if you see 2 long rows of pins on the back of the drive then its IDE and your in good shape, if those pins arent there then your up a creek without a paddle.
i feel i should also point out that if your using an old operating system (OS) on the computer then you should also ensure that you can fformat the drive for NTFS rather than FAT or FAT32 as they will probably not make use or even see the entirety of the drives capasity.
good luck

I have a mac powerbook G4 and it has a 80 gb hard drive in it. I recently purchased a 500 GB hard drive and want to transfer all of my files and operating system to my 500gb hard drive. Is that possible, or do I need to just install the hard drive and partition it with a clean copy of Leopard? Any help would be great!
Not familiar with Apple products.
One way you could do it is to take out the hard disk and get someone to clone it to the 500GB drive using a Windows PC and Norton Ghost software.
Then just replace the 500GB drive in the Mac and it should work.
Otherwise, you could place the 500GB in the Mac and install the OS and applications, then use a USB adapter to connect the 80GB as an external drive and copy the files into the 500GB drive.
After that, you can reformat the 80GB and use it as an external hard drive for backing up your data.

My laptop is about 4 years old and I have defragmented and run Scan Disk. My hard drive light is almost always blinking as if the hard drive is working even when the computer is idle. It never used to do this before. I did a quick restore to restore the operating system and all the software that came originally with the computer hoping this would solve the problem, but it didn't. The hard drive light seems to always be on as if the hard drive is busy doing something and the computer is responding very slugishly. I have run antivirus, spyware removal, registry cleaner, adware remover etc. The problem has not gone away. Any suggestions or answers to what this problem could be due to? My computer also seemed to run a bit hot the other day (resulting in computer shutting off), even when on Chill Pad. Thank you in advance.

Normally, the hard drive in our computers has more than one drives. We save all the program files in one drive such as drive c:/ and save other files like Word documents, photos, songs in another drive such as drive e:/. Is it necessary to divide external hard drive into different sections such as F:/, G:/, H:/?
And how to divide the external hard drive into several sections?
With External plugged in.....Right Click on My Computer icon....select Manage. Go to Disk Management...there you can create partitions (Logical Drives) in the sizes you specify. Keep in mind that you will have to delete any existing partition and data to make changes to it.
