Jasmine, I have read a number of posts on "www.xlr8yourmac.com/" in the comments for IDE harddrives, in which some have successfully used 100MB, 7200rpm, drives inside the slot loading iMacs. Haven't seem one regarding a 120 though. No one has ever experienced a heading problem, nor a formatting problem with the 100s. Earlier iMacs, or earlier OS's, had limits with the number of HD bytes that could be recognized, but these limits appear to have gone away with OS 9.1 and the slot loading iMacs.
I can't say for certain, but I don't believe that you will have any trouble. I would call a vender, like OWC, and ask if there are any issues with their 120GB drives.

I mean I know it can fit but it can't be as simple as installing it and suddenly having 120 gigs at my disposal. And occasionally I see little caveats saying that iMacs cannot handle 7200 rpms. Bu I think that is for Rev A-D. right? I finally figured out what currently is my obscure no-name hard drive. For those who don't know how, do this: System Profile, then write down the serial number of your hard drive, then search for that number on the internet. But I have a feeling you all know that already. Oh well, not bad for a dancer! ;-) jasmine -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
