    Default buying a harddrive, +rep and my eternal love

    so i've recently dug out my old Dell Inspiron 1525 which had its harddrive ruined by god knows what reason. so basically whenever i turn my dell on windows tells me that it can't detect a harddrive. fair enough. so i want to buy a new harddrive to get it running again so i have a spare laptop just incase anything happens to my beautiful acer.

    the harddrive in my dells easy to remove, its one of them slot-in pull-out ones. i'll type out most of the stuff thats on it.

    Seagate Momentus 5400.4 160GB
    Serial Attached ATA (SATA)
    5400 RPM
    Firmware 3.ADA

    i'm having trouble finding a replacement. since i'm only technology savvy when it comes to software and not hardware, i have no clue where to find a replacement. i've tried the dell website but nothing much comes up. would somethign like this (http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna...~ck=dellSearch) work?

    The one you picked out looks fine, but you could probably go cheaper and more spacious if you wanted. Any of these should work fine: http://www.ebuyer.com/store/Componen...TA-Hard-Drives

    They're slimline 2.5", so should take to any laptop including your Dell.
