Compaq Presario 1266 Hard Drive
Putting in a new hard drive is quite a simple task if you have an idea of what you are doing, obviously. Due to the sensitive nature of the drives, they will stop working whenever they want for a wide variety of reasons. Your Compaq Presario 1266 has a hard drive which is responsible for holding your documents and other data that the computer needs. Hard drives are designed in different sizes and types. The type of hard drive to purchase all depends on the connection inside your computer. The storage size of the drive is simply a personal preference as just about any computer can accept any sized drive.
What red flags are there that my HDD is about to go out?

- The laptop may crash when you open a particular program
- The operating system may begin to start and may never boot all the way
- The computer may crash suddenly without warning even while using it
- Your system stops or is slow to respond randomly throughout the day
