PMS, I have read eBay's requirement that a piece of equipment must accompany any sale of an MS operating system. Some of the ads stipulate that the equipment item may/may not be working. I suspect the hard drive in question here probably is a dead item. OTOH I have read ads for used PATA drives being sold 6-12 at a time at very low prices. I know for I have 12 of them here and all work OK and their combined purchase/shipping cost was less than $10/drive. They are all 40GB drives which is large enough to keep a working clone of the OS partition. Lots of old inventory being closed out in lieu of almost standard use of SATA and Windows 7. Time sure does march on (lol).
