hard drive problem

I have an I3800 and the hard drive went bad. How interchangeable are lap top
hard drives? The one that is in it is a travelstar 10gb by IBM. What do I
need to look for when finding a new drive.

They're standard - you need a 2.5" 9.5 mm parallel ATA hard drive (unlike
in the past, there are now SCSI and SATA 2.5" drives; these won't work -
you need a standard parallel ATA or EIDE drive).
