What kinds of parts do you need? Some are VERY specific to this model of
computer. Others are commodity items... Ben Myers

You can use just about any brand of 3.5" hard drive in your Presario. Its BIOS
may limit the capacity of the drive you can install. If you are replacing a
trashy 5.25" Quantum Bigfoot drive, by all means do NOT get another Bigfoot.
They have a far worse than average reliability record. Also, you would need a
pair of simple mounting brackets to mount a 3.5" drive in place of the Bigfoot.

Unfortunately there is an 8GB HD size limit in BIOS for the 4804-4832. You
will need to either find a drive of that size or smaller or install a PCI
IDE controller card with its own BIOS to overcome this limit. The latter
method is preferrable. 8GB drives are scarce.
