Its old, but it works and will give me the mobility that I need. Anyone know if all HDD for laptops are the same? Its got a small 12GB drive in it, I am thinking once I get the OS and other essentials on there it'll be down to 7GB or less.

Thankie Mike, lets see whats left after the install... its 86% complete on the format.

 

anyone know where i can find a cheap old laptop like that? id like to spend like $300 or so tops. possible?

 

Ebay.

 

during my research for a laptop..i saw some really really cheap old ones on www.epinions.com

 

Mine is a P3 700 MHz with 128 MB RAM.

 

Just make sure you get a 2.5" drive as opposed to the standard 3.5" and it will fit. Depending on how old the laptop is, they sometimes had a BIOS limitation to how big a HD they could see and partition, but that's only for really old laptops (one's with an original pentium or so). Your's should work with any HD.

 

Hey sean yours woulddnt happen to be a IBM thinkpad off of Ebay would it.

 

Nope its an old Armada.
