Garrett, what about this one WD Blue 500GB 2.5 SATA Internal Laptop Hard Drive - NEW on eBay (end time 10-Apr-10 19:26:44 BST)

Well OP said OP only wants IDE/ATA drive!

But on the other hand, blowing an Xtra tenner on an ATA<>SATA adaptor (if there was room) . . . . .

Can you get ata to sata adaptors for laptops?
Im not sure i will have enough room

I'd recommend an external hard drive. I'm guessing you have enough space for your operating system & programs. That's all you really need on your main drive. All media/documents/storage can be put on an external disk. They're cheap nowadays too. You can pick up a 1TB external for about $100. If you're looking for something more portable, there are external hard drives that can be powered by two usb ports. (One usb port if it's high powered, but most laptop ports aren't.)

The harddrive on here is slow and pretty much broken...
I was running xp with a constant 1gb paging file because i only had 256mb ram..
It needs scraping!
