    You need to know what connection you need. There are two PATA and SATA.

    PATA = IDE in case Op doesn't know.
    Most people wouldn't know a PATA drive if it came up and bit them in the ass.

    There are different sizes of laptop hard-drive, some are now 1.8", most are 2.5"- you really need to post the make and model of your laptop and folk will have a better idea for you.

    Actually, technically both SATA and PATA drives are IDE drives.
