1187516 2011-03-19 16:14:00 I have been given a AMD Sampron Desktop Computer with keyboard/XP Disk/Speakers but minus a hard drive which died. The person who gave it to me has thrown out the HD. This pc is about 8 years old.

I thought I would try and pick up cheap 40 HD and see if I could get it up and running and give it away to a youngster.

Im a bit green about the 2.5 ... 3.5 aspect of HD's and not certain which one I buy..... could someone please help out with that.

1187518 2011-03-19 19:19:00 2.5" is for laptops. And I'd get bigger than 40GB. pctek (84)

Current size availability is usually 160GB upwards, and you most likely need one with an IDE interface.
