The link 123 Runner gave is directly to IDE 2.5 inch drives. That is what you need to look at.
The other type is SATA which will not work in your system use the link he gave you for the list of drives that will work.

If you have a recovery disk ordered it should do everything for you.
It should include the original drivers as well as the OS for your system.

Well if they don't have it then you would have to purchase either XP, Vista or Win 7.

can i buy any windows xp or do i have to buy a windows xp for compaq or is it like a one size fits all?

1 size fits all.
You can buy XP home, XP pro, Vista, windows 7.
I would stay with the 32bit OS. Your laptop was old and most likely is not a 64 bit computer.

You can purchase it anywhere from any store like Best Buy.
We will have to do some searching for some of the drivers since they will not be included with a retail version of XP.
You could save some money if you were to purchase what is called a OEM version. They do not have all the manuals and instructions that a retail copy would have.
You should probably look for XP Home Edition with SP3 if you can find it. If not no problem as it will update once it is installed.
