Question: Which type of internal hard drive do i buy for this laptop?

(Posted by: Rob on 2010-09-03 21:34:49)

Someone gave me this laptop: http:/ / laptops.toshiba.com/ laptops/ satellite/ U400/ U405D- S2874 for free, and they said "all it needs is a new internal hard drive ", So my question is, can someone direct me to where to buy a hard drive that is compatible with this computer? I don't know much about computers, but the person also said they lost the OS disk and the drivers disk, so how do I get those as well? Will they come already installed on a new hard drive or what? Please help me out, thank you. Details or tutorials are appreciated. Thanks a lot. Can you recommend a HD for around $50- 80? What about the drivers? And to install Linux would I just burn it to a disk or what?

It needs a 2.5 " SATA hard drive, as for the OS, you will have to buy a new 1, if u cant buy a new 1, Linux ubuntu is a good free option
