....and that i need to replace my hard disk drive. This was when i rebooted my computer. Im now working on quick mode.
I then called my PC Supplier and they told me run a test to see if my hard drive was working and it failed. So i have to get a new hard drive.
Can anybody help me out here? I need to buy a new hard drive but got no idea on what to do. Im pretty much a rookie at this. Im looking for a 120GB hard drive. Are all hard drives the same? Ive had a brief look at hard drives and i got confused as hell. Each 120GB IDE hard drive disk had a different description. They were all different type of IDE disks. Also whats a connecter? Do i have to get that as well?
Like this is a 120GB IDE disk :
