Whoa!!

        I'm on the verge of purchasing a 20 gig TravelStar HD from 
CompUSA's fire sales (is $99 a good price?) this month for my OS 8.1 
PB 190. I assumed there wouldn't be a installation problem; that any 
standard 2.5" ATA/IDE drive would do the job without any 
complications. Is my concern just jumping the gun or are there issues 
I should consider first?
        Just a novice.
