What would be a fair price

[Skinner]

For a new 8 - 20 GB HD fitted to an HP Pavillion (older box) and
loaded with WIN98 (have the CD).

It's for an older lady who uses it for a bit of word processing, email
and a few older small games.

I worked on it today but her current HD is failing badly and I don't
have the time to do it myself.

Cheers

Get real, no point paying $110 for a 20GB HDD when you can get an 80GB for about $90!

I'd say you're looking maybe $35<->$50 for the HDD installation and reloading windows.

Cheers Guys,

I indicated around $200 so we are on the right side.....I get coffee and cake for
loading the other stuff later LOL.

Old stock held by shops.

If the machine is old anyway, and she doesn't require a large hard drive, you could always consider a smaller 2nd hand hard drive off trademe to save a few dollars.

Skinner- if shes on the North Shore, I'd be happy to help her out if she wants. I could probably get her a 80gb plus a bit for myself and a 'few' cartons of beer for you if you've told her it'll cost $200.

If not on North Shore, I'm sure there'll be plenty of people who could do it. PM me if you like.

Jen,

I have a pile of used drives .850 to 80 gb. at least 30 pieces.

Id only reccomed 4 of them, to anyone I even talk to, 3 off which I brought new, and 1 which is a maxtor 20g may 2002 manufacture, slim model tests and runs well.

Have you managed to have good sucess with T/M drives??
