| 306726 | 2004-12-22 05:35:00 | For a new 8 - 20 GB HD fitted to an HP Pavillion (older box) and loaded with WIN98 (have the CD). It's for an older lady who uses it for a bit of word processing, email and a few older small games. I worked on it today but her current HD is failing badly and I don't have the time to do it myself. Cheers Skinner |

Cheers Skinner Maxtor 20 $60-00. Seagate $110-00 pice spy today. plus freight/fitting/reinstall-copy over.

| 306728 | 2004-12-22 05:53:00 | Get real, no point paying $110 for a 20GB HDD when you can get an 80GB for about $90! I'd say you're looking maybe $35<->$50 for the HDD installation and reloading windows. |

| 306732 | 2004-12-22 06:35:00 | Skinner- if shes on the North Shore, I'd be happy to help her out if she wants. I could probably get her a 80gb plus a bit for myself and a 'few' cartons of beer for you if you've told her it'll cost $200. :eek: If not on North Shore, I'm sure there'll be plenty of people who could do it. PM me if you like. |
