OK, so you used to have a HD the same brand and size? I was thinking it might be that your computer (if it's verrrry old) could not read a hard drive that size.

We also need specs, as "windows 98 computer" isn't gonna be enough for us.

Well, since we don't even know how much RAM he has to start with, we cannot tell that yet. And BTW, I've used a 120GB HD with as little as 32MB RAM.
