As a phone guy who's job has somehow taken in computers too with video conferencing PCs and what not, I've had to replace hard drives. One, it has to physically fit, and chances are more than not that you will have to get into BIOS and tell the motherboard to recognize it. BIOS has to be configured properly for drive size, number of cylinders, etc. Entering BIOS is different with different manufacturers. Some hold the F1 key down as is booting, some F2 key. And so on. If it does fit physically, and if are dip switches or straps (on the hard drive itself) to configure, will need to know what they are and do ahead of time. Also, gather the information off of the tag/sticker on the hard drive ahead of time, because if have to configure BIOS, will need that information. Often can work with the manufacturer and say "I have a Seagate (for instance), model number ...", and they can or will help you. And to think that the first computer was the size of a building and took hours to count to ten, but it was accurate. And it's DVD was the size of a semi and only showed black and white silent movies if stared into the tubes at just the right angle (just joking). Mark
