I have a 64 bit OS, but 32 bit drivers installed on my C: drive. Help!

my other one is IDE, and has lods of pins.
So to clarify...I can buy ANY SATA hard drive then? The interface doesn't matter? should i just buy the samsung one I posted before?
Thanks

This is a SATA vs IDE connector:


You want to get a SATA harddrive. As long as it is a laptop harddrive, it should fit.

I think google images has confused her with sata converters attached and the like, so she thinks there are different SATA connections. They are industry standard so any 2.5" SATA hdd will fit.


Edit* she replaces he :)

ok brilliant, thanks everyone, yes google images did confuse me (and I'm a she lol)
As I said before, I am a novice!
Cheers, I'm sorted now

Don't worry about it. There can be a lot of information thrown out there.

Glad you got it figured out.
