Hello I have this old laptop a Toshiba Satellite 1800-400. A few years ago some one throwed it at a wall and smashed the screen! not me Since then I have hooked it up to a desktop screen and formated it but all I get are hard disk errors in dos, I tryed the restore disk from Toshiba and Windows boots up and I get the Windows Millennium Edition screen and then it gos blank. I am guessing the laptop is fine except just for the screen/hdd ? I would like to try a new/used hdd as cheaply as I can as I dont want to spend lost on a broken laptop, so what hdd can I put in it will any one work? If so I could get a cheap old one from ebay or even a new one. Its a shame to leave it laying about doing nothing. Also what about one of these Hard drive conversion leads, would that work ok as I have a spare 3.5 HDD I could use for the laptop? Heres some info on the HDD/Laptop: Disk Drive: MK1517GAP HDD2157 DC+5V 0.7A Toshiba Satellite 1800-400 Part Number : PS181E-00D59-EN Mobile Intel Celeron 800 MHz 14.1" TFT colour display <---- Smashed Integrated 8-speed DVD-ROM drive and diskette drive V.90 Data/Fax modem 15.0 GB HDD 128 MB SDRAM Thanks for the help
