Any Laptop HDD Will Do?

Hi, I am fixing a Dell Inspiron laptop, it won’t power-on because it has no hdd, my question is can I buy any 2.5" IDE hdd or do I have to buy a dell inspiron for it to work?

Thanks

You can use any 2.5" HDD. But you need to know if the laptop uses IDE or SATA before you can buy one.

thanks for ya help
