    Welcome to the forum! Verify what brand of HD you have, go to the manu.'s site and download a tool to check it out.
    What size drive do you have and what OS do you plan to install?

    2007 models, I would stay with 120Gig drive with faster speed (7200rpm) than risking going with a larger drive size and not be able to access it all

    cheers ...

    There's a few threads here on the NBR Forum covering upgrades for the Compaq Presario C700 - here's an extensive thread here for you to consider checking out.

    Compaq Presario C700 Upgrades And Facts!

    BTW what's the exact model of C700 do you have, as it's my understanding there are a few sub-models for that series - hope it helps. :)
