[mr_anderson187]

oops sorry, i just thought id lost a loada money by buying sum useless krap, wont happen again, im not often that retarded, lol

[directhex]

a 40gb hard disk should cost no more than 20 quid new, at current market prices.

you may run into a problem on an old machine with a 32gb maximum hard disk size, there should be a jumper on the back of the drive to force it to only be 32gb

[Korky]

ye m8 £20 isnt a big loss buu still a very annoying one.

[SmileyUK]

where are you finding 40gb drives for £20

they were 30-35 last time i looked

[directhex]

then they're vastly overpriced, 50p a gb is standard, 120gb costs 50 quid

[Twigman]

Yeah but you cant just say that applies for every drive.
Smaller capacity you pay higher amount per gig, and higher capacity less per gig (unless you are right at the top end, where it can go back up again). Its not just a falt rate everywhere, but I understand what your saying.
