Floppy Drive from One Laptop to Another
Hi,
The floppy drive, part # 261848-001, in my 1997 (abt.) Compaq Presario 1060 laptop is bad and there is no replacement available. Note: I service TVs, etc., rarely computers. I have a floppy drive from another model Compaq laptop, not the same part number, but it could fit in the space occupied by the original. What is your opinion? Thanks in advance, Brad Before you type your password, credit card number, etc., be sure there is no active keystroke logger (spyware) in your PC. |

Floppy Drive from One Laptop to Another
I don't think there would be a problem but if it were me, I'd be asking HP
(Compaq) support the question as laptops are just too finicky about hardware. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Brad" wrote in message ...

Go to the HP site and order one of each. If the order confirmation gives
you the same (substitute) part number, you know they are compatible. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Brad" wrote in message ...
