    Recently, I upgraded my computers hard drive, and we still have the HDD from the PC. The HDD from the PC is a Samsung, and it came in our Compaq. I don't know if it's SATA, or IDE. When we purchased the new one, its a Seagate PATA, or something like that. I don't really know much..

    SPECS:
    Samsung
    160gb
    Ask for S/N, and P/N
    It doesn't say if its SATA, or IDE. But, it has 3 different slots for chords, one is were a cable connects to, it's a gray cable, maybe about a foot in length.
    Model Number: SP1604N.


    I'd take pictures but I can't find my sisters camera (hehe).
    Anyways, any help is appreciated, thanks.
