    ok, the HDD is compatible, the laptop is a little bit old and probably the best OS you can put on it, is windows 7.

     

    about drivers:

    about OS: on the bottom of your laptop, probably there's a sticker that will help you find the original windows version installed and a product key to activate it; the worst thing is...windows XP and Vista media are no more available to buy, so you must find it in another way (that can't be discussed here).

     

    about windows 7, you can still find some original media to buy, not so easy by the way.
