Hi All,

I've got a trusty old DeskPro which I'd like to put a new HD and CDWR in
since they're pretty cheap...

Can anyone tell me if it matters what drives I get? Are there
limitations which mean a new drive won't work? E.g. can I put an EIDE HD
in there?


You may have issues with disks larger than 32GB, but EIDE disks will
work, just not at optimum speed. You might want to consider installing
a PCI EIDE controller; they're pretty cheap and will give you better
performance and no disk size issues.

Any CDRW should work without problem.
