    If it’s an optical drive they are universally compatible on cf-27 /28 and cf-29 models
    If you are asking about the hard drive, no you will blue screen the computer and have to format and reload xp

    damn, was hoping to avoid the hassle. I recall one time I switched hard drives between a pentium 233 to a 400 mhz and windows coughed a little bit, but it accepeted it. I was kinda surprised.

    Why do you want to put your mk-1 hard drive in the mk-3?

    hey why not? lol, no really I just want to test the universal restore option I never had a need to use it, why not now. I don't have anything important to lose besides season 2 of gossip girl. worst comes to worst I have to reinstall windows. and if it works well I had the CF-28 hard drive set up nice. I just reinstalled everything a couple of weeks ago due to hdd failure on a new drive. everything tweaked and updated

    Well there is a couple of small differences on the caddies
    First is that there is a height difference , not too much of an issue I have swapped them around
    And what I have found on the later mk#s was that some were equipped with a hard drive heater

    From what I heard the earlier CF-28 caddies will fit the later, but not the other way around. I have to search the threads maybe I got it wrong

    The CF-28 Mk1 HDD caddy is "Universal Donor". Later models are a few mm thicker due to the addition of the HDD heater; just enough to prevent closing the battery door. However Modly has stated that they can be "massaged" a bit to fit in the Mk1; it just takes some patience.
