Wanted - unused 8gig hdd IDE

[leslie]

please don't laugh, but I'm looking for an 8 gig hdd to make this beastie a little more useful for awhile longer, looking for new unwrapped, let me know if you've got one sitting on a shelf under the dust

 

[systembuilder]

only have tens would that work

 

[leslie]

uh, I dunno, let me get back to you...

Thanks

I can't believe I posted an "I dunno" with out this guy!

 

[Professur]

Why an 8G?

 

[leslie]

It seems it's the best this will do, as far as I know.

 

[HomeLAN]

Might be able to get around that by flashing the motherboard BIOS.

 

[leslie]

That's what I was about to reply, I am a total newbie to all of this, still learning, and don't yet feel up to that, so I think I'm better off sticking to 8g for now. If I messed anything up, I'd have no resource i.e. internet for help. Thanks anyway, all, I'm gonna play better safe than sorry

Les, do you have a windows cd to install on this new HDD? I couldn't find any new ones, but even a used one probably won't have an OS installed on it.

 

[leslie]

yeah, I've got the 2k cd, so with my 98 one i have a choice of two OS, so if one doesn't work, I have a backup!

Thanks Q, that's great! The day I posted this, I browsed ebay, got to page 13 before I found even one!

I'll take a look! Thanks again!
