I replaced my C500 OEM HD with an IBM 40GB, 7200RPM Deskstar 120GXP from www.newegg.com (now $89). The drive is plug and play with the jumpers already set. You pop the top of the C500. Diconnect the drive, noting which way the power plug and data cable fit . There is one screw on the right hand side of the HD in the C500 and that loosens the HD sled to which the drive is attached. Remove that and then take the old drive off and replace with the new drive. HTH. Eric -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
