Hard drive upgrade options

[thesper]

I have a WIN2K P4 Dell with a WD EIDE ATA-100 primary drive which runs off an Intel 82801BA Ultra ATA Storage Controller 244B.

I want to upgrade to a larger primary drive (currently 40GB) and have noticed many types of internal drives on the market (SATA, PATA, etc.)

What types am I limited to based on the controller I have?

Thanks

Basically you need to look at ATA or EIDE drives as SATA drives use a different interface.

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

I thought that may be the case. Just wanted to make sure whether or not I had other options. Thanks.
