Title: New Hard Drive advice
Post by: batdog 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.

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.
