[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 672971, member: 42497"] Seagate and most other companies make 120GB IDE HDD and here is a link:- [url]http://dealnews.com/Seagate-120-GB-IDE-Internal-Hard-Drive-for-30-9-s-h/232233.html[/url] If you wish to go larger you will need a PCI controller card which enables the Mac to recognize larger drives from a supplier such as OWC at [url]www.macsales.com[/url]. Set up the new drive as a slave and pop it into the machine, format OS Extended using Disk Utility, back up using SuperDuper or Disk Utility. Remove both drives, make the new drive master. [/QUOTE]
