no - not that much.

I just brough a new 320 gig IDE drive for $112 CDN. I know you can buy a 200-250 for less than $100. In American dollars and prices maybe 60?

For an USB external harddriveenclosure I found them for ~$40 CDN... and a network harddrive enclosure, really cool but not what you're looking for ~$80 CDN.

 

so since you have a Dell does it still have the service tag and/or product key sticker on it anywhere on the outside of the case? im sure since you have a legit copy of windows that you dont need to buy a new one. id hate to see you spend $200 on a new OS when you legally already own one. through Dell you may be able to download the disk off their site, so dont go buy a copy of XP just yet.

 

I have an HP, not a Dell. I would like a Dell though, because everything works on those, gif files and all, lol!! But on the side of my HP tower, there is a sticker with 16 numbers and letters on it, I quess the product key

 

Is this a good deal?

DELL

 

omg dont think just becouse its a dell it will work better. its all software. somewhere u messed it up, even if u dont think so or did anything.


on the OS think i was thinking you can DL XP Pro or w/e you have then use you real KEY when you install it. i think it should work but IDK. i just DL the KEY to. dont tell anyone tho.

and what is the pc u have??? can i have a link or something????

 

Its an HP a200n . They dont sell them anymore, atleast I dont think. All the specs are a few posts up.

What about this HD HERE

I know because its a dell it wont work better or worse, but I havent had any problems out of mine. I just wanted to know if it was a good deal or not. Because thats almost the price I would spend upgrading my puter.

 

u want a HDD for your labtop right??? well i dont think that it for a labtop. its for a desktop.

 

That's the wrong type of harddrive likily... plus that's not a great deal anyhow... and the version of XP installed on it won't work with your hardware so you'll have to reinstall windows anyhow. For $40 then it might be worth the risk of buying a used drive... but it still won't make it work in your computer which most likely only has IDE and not SATA.

 

No, I want it for my Desktop. I took my Desktop out of the closet and what to get it up and running for my business. And right now it only has 256mg and 40GB. I want to upgrade it

 

I gotta agree that there is way too much bundled stuff with it (the software) unless its a free upgrade its not needed. I wouldnt go with just a 128MB vid card, 256 is the minimum I would go with.

Otherwise its not a bad deal.

You can get a copy of your original HP recovery disk here:

You will need to input your original CD key and your ZIP in order to get shipping costs, but that should at least be getting you in the right direction.
