I have a compaq computer and I want to know if this is compatible with it. Its just a regular pc and I have a windows disc for it?

The WD RE3 Internal Hard Drive has a Serial ATA connection for data transport. Your PC must have the same connection type (Serial ATA). If your PC does support Serial ATA connection type you are good to go, just install new drive and then install Windows . Without knowing which model PC you have I can not tell you if it is compatible or not.

How many hours were on this drive when you received it?

In SMART, mine showed shows 6C78 hours which I think is 27,768 hours.
