LF: 3.5" IDE Laptop Hard Drive

[Traditional_Ale]

I have an old laptop here a friend dropped off to be fixed. The laptop boots up to the start screen but it looks like the hard drive has cratered. Doesn't even show up in the BIOS anymore.

I have no money for a new one, which would be stupid for a machine this old anyway. Does anyone have one kicking around in a dead machine or desk drawer or something? I can go trades on stuff.

This computer exists on the kitchen table for listening to music, checking email, looking at porn, etc etc, so I am going to run a free Linux build like Ubunutu or something.

Thanks in advance!

A 3.5 for a laptop?
What size (GB) are you looking for? I might have something kicking around can look this weekend if you don't find anything sooner.

Anything that still runs is fine. The machine is only for facebook, music, and porn, so doesn't matter.

Although ricosuave just came through for me huge. But thank you anyway!

The first time you said porn, I thought you were making a joke. But the second time you said it... are you making some kind of statement or declaration or something?
