went for around $200 per megabyte. Nowadays hard drives are around
$2.50 per GB and memory around $100 per GB.

$2.50 per GB? You must be buying from Circuit City...

NewEgg's price for a Seagate 750 GB is around $380 and the 75 GB
Cheetahs are around $180. The 40 GB drive I mentioned was the largest
available to consumers at the time and is the one I knew how much they
cost.
 
$180 for 75 GB? $2.50 for 1 GB? I'm not familiar with Cheetah, but at those
prices you must be talking about the 10,000 RPM drives. I haven't checked
those lately but I'm sure they are significantly more. 7,500 RPM drives are
much less than $1 per 1 GB. I got a 120 GB drive last year from Circuit
City for $50 (after rebate).

Of course prices will continue to drop as people demand more, larger HDs,
which they will if Vista takes off (Vista asks for minimum 15 GB free).
 
I jest about Circuit City being expensive. I think Michael is talking
about enterprise-grade drives, which are more server grade hardware
although I have used Cheetahs myself with Windows XP and they are
amazing as standalone drives.
 
Hi Justin...

I have 16GB IDE Flash Drive SUPER TALENT and i'm unable to restore a
ghost image file on my laptop PANASONIC CF-29, Image file: WINDOWS XP
SP2. With original standard IDE disk 60Go no problem to restore, but
with the flash drive at reboot I always received OPERATING SYSTEM NOT
FOUND...

Anyone have some idea???

Thanks

You didn't mention this, but it does appear that the BIOS is picking up
this drive, as you were able to restore a ghost image to it...

Anyways, the first place I would check is in your BIOS and make sure
that the new drive is listed in the Boot Order.
