Tom,
Here's the info you need to change the drive: http://tinyurl.com/3anjp3
More info on the computer here: http://tinyurl.com/38fofz
I'd recommend adding a 128 MB memory chip, to boost total memory to 192 MB.
That will make a big difference in performance on a 300 MHz PC with Win 98Se.
John.

Thanks Clint,
Just to follow up, I did connect a 160 GB hard drive to the
computer and to my surprise the BIOS recognized all of it.
Now, I can't figure out how to physically remove the old
drive. The computer only has one hard drive bay. I can't
get to the screws on the right side of the computer.
True, the computer had Windows 98 on it but I'm going to
install Windows 98 SE on it. It will be good enough for my
brother-in-law who can't afford to buy a computer and who
only uses e-mail and does a little web browsing.
It's a 300 MHZ processor with 64 MB memory.
Tom
