Dawn;
At best your Packbell will only recognize an 8.4 gig drive.
There are drive overlay programs that will allow your
older computer to use the entire drive size.
I hate to use them, but sometimes they are necessary.
any major brand retail drive you buy will have the software included
Or you can download the software from the drive manufacturer's
website.
You simply boot from their disk and install the drive through
the program.

Subject: [PCBUILD] hard drive
I have to replace my hard drive (2.1 ST32120A segate) in my older Packard
Bell (M400) computer which after tests show physical damage and I need to
know how big or small of one I can replace it with or does it matter? What
about capability? (memory is 16 mb and was running win95 upgraded to 98se)
Any suggestions on buying use ones?or where?
