Computer Upgraded - Attempt the Second

Well, I had to remove the 320GB hard drive.

Reason: the motherboard only accepts IDE/PATA connections. The HD was a SATA interface type. So I was using a PCI adaptor to link the two. Turns out, the adaptor was not a good fit - it kept losing connection with the motherboard.

So I have replaced the HD with an IDE/PATA 40GB HD - complimented with a 120GB external hard drive.

Which should be plenty for my purposes.

Computer Upgraded

After battling with a disk suffering from corrupted sectors for a month now I have bitten the bullet and upgraded my old (8years+) machine.

120Gb Hitachi Deskstar up to 320GB (unknown).

512Mb Corsair ddr pc 3200 to 2Gb memory.

Ubuntu to be installed later.
