The hard drive I was working on the is corrupted was 3.1 gb. Does anyone know how much a 10 or 20 gb hard drive would cost? (Maxtor) 
Good luck finding one, unless you buy used.
Usually, stores donât carry any less than a 40 GBâŚ
Heres an 18, but with a rather high pricetag for a maxtorâŚ

First off it is SCSI
then 10,000 rpm
5 year warrantee
18GB 10000RPM 4.5MS
80PIN U320 SCSI
you may be hooped. If you had a 3.1 your system may not be able to use a 40. Is the IDE connector on the motherboard black or blue?
If itâs black you may need to hunt down a 20GBâŚ
If you canât find one give me a post. I think i have some 8 GBs around.

black blue purple green white red yellow⌠color doesnât mean a differenceâŚ
and you can buy a 20 - 40 gig and use over-lay softwareâŚ
eeewww!
run a 40 GB with a 40wire ribbon?
Buy a new computer, dude!
speaking of dudes, why is that Steve guy a bad Dell rep?
cuz marijuanaâs a GATEWAY drug
66 ata or 100 ata youâll loose the performance but gain the size LOL⌠or you could always buy a promise card too LOL or a new computerâŚ
ya know, i just slapped together a Duron 700 w a AsusA7V promise board and 15 GB from recovered parts and sold it same day for $275.
that woulda solved your problem.
(hated to flog it, that was a nice mb in itâs day, but maxed out at 1 GHz. Couldâve made a RAID server w like 4 drives and an Athlon 1300+ or something)
Itâs just pickinâ bitsâ to even post this, but when in RAID mode, the promise controler only takes 2 drives.
That was a rockin board though. I have the A7V and the A7V133 models. The 133 has the RAID, but it also has a chipset fan and starts making a lot of noise. Runs very hot too. If left at idle, it would make my living room very stuffy.
now i donât feel so bad getting rid of it. it was only the A7V, the earlier on w/o ob sound too.
So itâs my A7V thatâs blasting my roomâs temperature through the roof?
the asus a7v and azv133âs both sucked the power up and created alot of heat⌠it was my first board too that i bought⌠and they will take up to a 1.4gig⌠if flashedâŚ

8 Gbâs would be nice, becasue my buds just want this fixed up for there children, homework and stuff like that. Nothing special and expensive needed here.
But I aree, I donât think ribbon colorâs mean alot here. 
Haha, I have NEVER heard of a computer actually bought just for homework, or at least it never turns out that way.
Buuuuuuuuttttt I guess some kids do. Unless we lend them our Type writer in the basement. Hey that might save money!
