the primary drive on our bcm 3.6 went today.. do i need to get one of these FRU preprogrammed drives that are out there?

That, or use the BIT imaging tool to put the software image on a new 20GB drive.

thanks for the reply... so i should just match the model of the 20GB drive that's in there right now? its just a standard IDE drive right?

I bought (4) 20 Gig hard drives at Giantcomputer.com for $35 each and they all worked fine. I used Ghost to make an Image of a good drive and use that as my master.
