must not be such a great deal, no replies

Well is it good yes,no?

Well it's essentially an 8gb hdd. That's it.

It comes with an illegal copy of 3.9 (it's installed on the HDD, no CD) and it has a load of whdload games on it (which you can download for free).

I personally wouldn't buy it, it's not even a 2.5" hdd.

depends.....you can buy the 2.5 -> 3.5 IDE converter from Maplins for £4.99

add an old PC hard drive(that you may or may not have hanging around).... 8 gig, 20 gig.. whatever!!

I gather the OS3.9 is a bit naughty, you take the risk if you want.

But looking at it.... it's a fiver postage, obviosuly he's included his paypal fee in that and also it's a starting bid of £7.50.... how high is that going to go??

Your choice buddy!!

I have a spare 80gig pc hard drive. Would i be able to put that in my 1200?

PaulyQ · 30 September 2006, 00:43

if it fits.... if I remember correctly it would need to go in the top right hand corner of the unit(obviously it won't fit into the cradle)...and I know there is a limit of hard drive size being recognised and how to get around it... see other threads to confirm cos I forget the actual size you can go upto. Although another file system might need to be installed(forgot that bit!!)
