Mother board is IPILP-LC (Lancaster8)

I want to use the Hard drive WD3200AAJS (WD cavier Blue with data in it instead of installed by Compaq Presario SRS5310F
 
Yes, you can use WD3200AAJS on the Compaq Presario SR5310F, because the MB has the SATA ports, I think it is the SATAII. http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/Compaq-Presario-SR5000-Desktop-PC-series/3644727/model/3644732/document/c01285437/
 
Hello, Vipulupiv!

[EDITED]
Yes, of course, you will be able to use your WD Blue drive with the desktop. However, if the drive already has an operating system installed from another computer, you'd need to re-format and re-install Windows in order to use it on this one.
And vice versa - if you want to install Windows on it, I'd suggest to back up the data from the WD Blue somewhere else and have peace of mind that the data is safe while you finish the installation of the HDD on your PC! :)



Hope I helped! Let me know if you have any questions!

Yes, it has an operating system installed from another computer, and I want to use the same hard drive on Compaq PC without formatting, as I have installed some program >
Wish to access the same, if there is any possible solution to it
