I have never used this company but it s a starter for 10

However ths may also do the trick at half the money - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Generic-Notebook-Hard-Disk-Drive/dp/B000OUF6PU

Any 2.5" IDE hard drive should fit and work ok, as long as you still have the special cradle that the drive screws into.

Any of these - http://www.ebuyer.com/search/?intCatID=4&intSubcatUID=19 (but not the first SATA drive). Of the ones listed I would go for either the Western Digital 60 GB for a bit of extra capacity or the Seagate 40 GB, which has a 5 year warranty.

Or buy a drive which costs just over £30 from ebuyer and then use Google checkout to save £10 (offer ends today).
