Compaq Presario V2000 hdd upgrade

[jime1]

hello guys,

I have an old Compaq Presario V2000 (EV889PA#ACJ)

I want to upgrade its hdd, its PATA and just 60GB
I searched for 2.5" ide drives and they are really costly as compaired to the sata drives.
And it has a dvd drive(odd) which has its r/w head stuck at the center (m unable to fix it) and it wont read any disk,
So I was thinking about getting an ide odd bay for sata hdd to upgrade my hdd..

will that work for the laptop ?
Need your help in this regard
TYSM in advance

Get a 2.5" IDE SSD, they make them. They're a little bit more expensive than your run-of-the-mill 2.5" SATA SSD though, because the IDE ones have lower market volumes.

@VirtualLarry:
I was thinking about getting this : http://www.amazon.in/dp/B00ZCNDVY2/...lid=2V83R0IKMKRCX&coliid=I2PJIEW00ZN4KC&psc=1

and installing a SATA SSD or HDD in it(I don't know the GB limits on this laptop ).
The ODD does not work anyways, is there any way to fix the odd ?

AMD 1GB and intel 2GB

That must be the RAM.
I don't know the HDD space limit.. can you please tell me that ?
