The hard-drive is a Maxtor One-touch III Mini 160Gb. Not using another portable yet, but relying on the desktop I bought for the kids last year. I'd like to buy one I can dual boot with Linux but the problem there is about establishing wireless compatibility. I'll have to hurry, I guess, as I'd rather have XP than Vista for the Windows partition.
