Will this hard drive work with an 18 month old HP desktop computer with a build ID?
I have an 18-month old HP Pavillion with a 1TB Western Digital Caviar Green hard drive that came with it and just failed. HP support said that all their computers have a build ID that is on almost all the internal hardware, including the hard drive. They would not guarantee that any other hard drive I didn't buy from them would work. I think they're blowing smoke, but I wanted to check to see if anyone has every dealt with this. Thanks!
