Hi Deb - It depends on what she uses the laptop for. I upgraded my original laptop from an 80GB to a 100GB. Now I would love to have something closer to 160GB to 200GB. My point is that I think 30GB doesn't seem like very much. Although if it's Windows 98, and she doesn't do much, then it's fine.
That said, I love shopping on NewEgg.com. Here is a list of laptop drives that they have available: http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Har d-Drives Toshiba 60GB drive for $46 Western Digital 120GB for $69 Todd -----Original Message----- From: PBC Web Design [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 04, 2008 9:43 AM To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com Subject: [wdvltalk] OT: is this a good price on a hard drive? Hi there, My daughter's laptop's hard drive is shot it looks like. "Missing Operating System" is all I can get it to do. Have tried inserting the recovery cd and a Win98SE cd - same message. I opened it up and pulled the drive and reseated it twice - just in case it had come loose. No luck. I'm wondering if this is a good price and place to purchase her a new drive: http://www.drivesolutions.com/cgi-bin/shop/ug2store.cgi?command=listitems&ki nd=tol&pos=0&type=itemid&itemid=tol816 $55 for the 30GB drive. Never had to buy one before so I don't have a clue.
