but I cant work out what to replace it with exactly......the dying HD is a st3500418as ata......which as far as I can tell no longer available..... so what should I get instead? There must be a "next model".....He doesn't have the budget to buy another computer atm so replacing the HD seems logical......I am pretty sure I can work out how if I know what HD to buy lol! Doesnt hurt to try!
Gotta go to work now
cheers
