Before I decide to install linux I want to get a new hard drive so as to not lose all of the stuff I already have saved.
I've never shopped for a hard drive, and have never installed one. I'm looking to spend $50-$150, and I want an internal hdd.
The make of my motherboard is Gigabyte k8 Triton series nforce 4 (whatever the **** that all means) Is there anything else you need to know about my computer to help me?
I checked and my current hard drive is Maxtor Y....something something. Sooo will any Hard drive work with my mobo, does my mobo support more than 1 hard drive? I know I can fit the hard drive in my tower.
Any recommendations on which hard drive to buy, and which to stay away from? And when I buy one will I have all the necessary stuff to install it?
Thanks mucho.
