New Hard Drive advice
« on: February 20, 2003, 06:14:02 AM »
I've been having increasing problem w/my old HD. It an old 6gig clunker about 4yrs old or more I think.


 I'm wondering whats a good HD to purchase? All I need is about a 20gig at most. I plan on running windows 98se on it as well. Will I have to partition it? I could nail me a free copy of 2000 though.

 Suggestions needed.

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

The advice I received (and which my research confirmed) is the Western Digital Special Edition with 8MB Cache Buffer. A 20GB hard drive should be very reasonably priced.
