dependin upon your scsi configuration yes it does...here's some more info for ya....

It can be, depends on if your hard drive is Parallel ATA:\n\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144122\n\n...or Serial ATA:\n\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822135106\n\nUnless your motherboad has both controllers.  Compaq's website was not helpful as to which type of drive is in the Presario 5000:\n\nhttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&dest_page=product&product=92867&dlc=en&docname=bph03429\n\nSo I can't give you a definite answer without more information.  Sorry!

This is quite a common problem and is more than likely due to the PC's Motherboard BIOS not being able to recognise the complete number of cylinders/sectors etc on the hard disk, a bit like somebody being able to count up to a hundred and not knowning what number comes next hence the BIOS only recognises up to 127GB. \n\nOptions:\n1 . Upgrade/Flash your Motherboards BIOS with the latest version so it recognises the full capacity.\n\n2. Put the hard disk ito a PC that will recognise it and partition/format the drive there, then your OS should see the hard disk ok with the 200GB capacity.\n\nI actually had this problem myself and could not find an upgrade for my motherboard as it was so old. I put the hard disk in my other PC which recognised the hard disk and did the partitioning/formatting on there and then transfered it back to the other PC and the OS could then see the full capacity of the disk....job done :)\n\nHope this helps.\n\nCheers!

As long as you are going to all that trouble to put another drive on the new machine you might want to see what is on sale lately. I saw that Microcenter on the Internet has a 250 gig drive for $49 after rebates. Comes the day after Thanksgiving (Black Friday) I expect a bunch more great sales. Keep an eye out for a biggie at a low price.

Look at the old hard drive.  There should be a label with the model number and manufacturer on it.  Search the model number at the manufacturer's web site.  It should tell you which kind of hard drive it it.\n\nTypically, it depends on what connector is on it.  A small connector which is about a little over half an inch is a serial ata connector.  A larger connector about 2 inches wide is a ata/uata/dma/udma/ide connector.  Each of these different modes are different transfer speeds, but plug looks the same.  By researching your model at the manufacturer's site will tell you what speed it will transfer at, thus giving you the right protocol hard drive to purchase.  \n\nfor example,\nultra 33 - theoretical 33 MHz transfer\nultra 66 - theoretical 66 MHz transfer\nultra 100 - theoretical 100 MHz transfer\nultra 133 - theoretical 133 MHz transfer\nsata 150 - theoretical 150 MHz transfer\n\nThere are also SCSI drives, but most mainstream home computers don't have them.\n\nHard drives don't come in RAID form, it is how how you set up your hard drives if your motherboard/host adapter supports RAID.  RAID is an array of hard drives.  You can use multiple hard drives in RAID to get effects such as combined output from multiple hard drives for more output speed, or for redundancy such as writing to two hard drives at once so you have an extra hard drive with with same data for backup in case one happens to die. More advanced versions of RAID can do both of these functions (combined output and redundancy) at the same time.

You can connect upto 180 GB of HDD to Asus P4S533-MX. But you only connect parallel ATA Hard Disk this board does't support SATA HDD.

latops have special hard drives, search computer websites, such as newegg, and find laptop hard drives, that support sata 150, this is the kidn dat works with dell inspiron 6000\nbut the rband does not make a difference, in fact go for a hitachi or a toshiba

just buy a good drive, maxtor ( now seagate ) or western digital\nmake sure the interface is the same ( it's probaly PATA and not SATA is you got a 33gb hardrive ), most all are 7200 rpm\nyour biggest problem will be weather or not your bios can handle a drive over 137Gb if you get one that big, you also did not mention your OS, and what you be foramtting the drive to ( FAT32 or NTFS ).

That doesnt make any sense. Thats like asking if installing one program on Windows on a 60GIG hard drive will work more efficiently than on a hard drive with 200GIGs.\n\nIt doesnt matter what the volume is. It depends on how much data you put into the Server and the processing speed of your Server.

a 300 gb hdd has a space capacity for  279.45 gb only

That's a part number, correct? But for what? A hard drive? A server? A cpu? Googling it just brings up sites with lists of part numbers. Without knowing what it actually is there's no more I can tell you.

More details please..A PC300 is pretty old and was made for business use. I am sure it is not very upgradeable

Yes, you will not have to worry about compatibility unless you were to pickup a laptop model instead of a standard desktop hard drive.  I would get a 7200rpm.  Personally I would recommend a Seagate Barracuda as they are known for being fairly quiet.  Save up enough money for the right size hard drive so you don't have to replace it in a year again.

if you want disk space, you need a larger hard drive... memory is not space.

Make sure you have the latest servicepack installed (SP2). You'll need it anyways if you wanna keep receiving updates from the Windows site.\nIf the BIOS detects the harddrive in full, start XP and goto Disk Management > Action > Rescan disks and see if it will pick up the correct size.\nIf the BIOS doesn't recognize the harddrive as 320 Gb, you'll need to find an updated BIOS for your motherboard. Check the site of the manufacturer for that (most motherboards made after 2003 will be able to recognize large harddrives).\nAs a last resort, you can goto the website of the manufacturer of the harddrive to see if they have extra drivers that will solve the problem for you.

I don't think if your using a SATA harddrive, it has to be in RAID.  Below is a link for your motherboard.  You can download the manual.

You can run the PowerLeap upgrade configurator, to see what your system is capable of, in regards to upgrades. http://www.powerleap.com/\nHowever, they are way overpriced, so take the info and run like heck, to Fry's, or a compatible store!!\nIs the floppy drive working?\nYou did not  really give us your existing configuration, so answering your TV Tuner card question could be hard ?\n{e.g. who made you motherboard?, CPU specs (P3-could range from 450MHz. to 1.3GHz}?, Use of TV Tuner card - watch TV, or record, an burn movies?
