I receiced it on time.This was my first experience installing a hard drive because I’m less than a novice. I’m not putting myself down.I have not been trained in computers. Everything I do is expermintal and with the much needed help of the info. I receive from the internet,I try. My 12 year old grandson asked me to buy the Dell Inspiron 1545 at the garage sale for $2.00. It didn’t have a hard drive and of course was not formatte. Origionally it had Windows Vista installed. I’m not a fan of Vista, so I purchased Windows 7.I figured since it’s a new hard drive I should be able to install whatever I wanted.The drive sat around for awhile because of other things going on. Finall, I got some time alone and started. Static electricity will ruin the componets inside so you have to protect them. The hard drive lays in a cradle and is screwed in..That cradle installs in the front left.It just slides in and conects with,I suppose the motherboard inside.No screws came with the harddrive or cradle. The screws I had didn’t fit so being impatient, I cut strips of narrow duct tape around the cradle and drive.and inserted it. It must be allright because I’m using it right now. My grandson likes it better than the Compaq. He’s happy,I’m happy.The experiment went well.
