| With 10 years of hard drive replacement experience, I can assert with confidence that Maxtor, Western Digital, Toshiba (or trashiba, as I like to call them), Quantum, and Fujitsu drives are all JUNK! I only feel comfortable with Hitachi and Seagate drives. And yeah, I know Seagate now owns Maxtor ... but that's only recent.  |

| colindunn, MCE will install a new 120 or 160GB HD for $269 or $299. Not cheap, but less than $500 and beats shelling out for a new machine. Of course if you wanna try doing it yourself, good luck!  |
