how's this one look? http://www.ebuyer.com/product/131300/stats seem right for my needs, but anything I need to be aware of or anything?
I was under the impression that it was a SATAII drive
If it's a legit Windows XP cd with no manufactures logo on it (dell, hp) then you shouldn't have trouble using it... before I reinstall I like to 'zero out' my hard drive by using a free program called Kill Disk... performs a low level format that overwrites all data with 0's. Anything that use to exist on the drive is gone.but yeah to install windows you need load the cd before windows loads.
