New Hard Drive Needed

nunnygirl

After much help from Donnie and aliEnRIK my computer hard drive has decided to almost give up the ghost.

Need a new hard drive and don't know where to buy one. Can anyone help?

Information on the top of the drive in the computer at the moment says



Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 120GB ATA/133HD



Where can I get a replacement please?

If any more information is needed please ask

Thanks in advance:T

Currently got 120GB, so I'm thinking stick with the same. The size is right for what we need. Price wise, maybe £40-£50 ish?

Thanks Donnie. Do I burn that to a CD once it's downloaded?

Personally I would suggest that one.

Or if you want to up it:

Also need new RAM, I currently have 512MB DDR PC2-5200

Would this be a suitable replacement?

According to the Crucial system scanner the computer can handle up to 4GB, so would I be better with 1gb or 2gb?

If you are using the Crucial scanner, I would buy the memory they suggest. Some people say stay away because they can be more expensive, but I like them

What operating system are you using?

nunnygirl

XP Home SP3

You won't need 2GB, 1GB will be more than enough, 512MB should be enough. Are you sure you need some?

nunnygirl

Yup, it is as slow as sin at the mo and aliEnRIK suggested getting a new stick
