I'm looking for a used (or new if it's a good price) HDD for an old laptop. It's presently got a 6Gig Hitachi drive in it that's seen better days. Model DK23AA-60
if anyone has a spare drive to sell me please shoot me a PM.
You must be willing to ship o/seas. I will pay immediately on confirmation of item and price. I use Paypal. Otherwise Money order.
Thanks

Yes shipping is to SA.
I am happy to pay the extra postage. If anyone has an old busted notebook lying around that may have a salvageable drive in it, pleeese lob it my way.
It doesn't have to have a large storage capacity on it.
I can't get the drive to be detected by either of the boards I've tried it with. I don't have a laptop to try it in, so I'm using one of those IDE adapters so I can hook it up to a 40-Pin connection.
There's a chance that it's the adapter at fault, though I doubt it. I'm pretty sure that it's just a bum drive.
You won't believe how I've battled to find a used one locally. New drives are so expensive and the notebook is quite old. It's not financially viable to fit a new drive
If theres anyone else out there that may be able to help me i would be extremely gratefull
Another option, depending on how much a new drive costs where you are, is to have someone in the US buy it, and then ship it to you, if it's significantly cheaper.
I have sent you a PM, maybe we can come to some arrangement
Cost is a factor so I will have to see what these things are going for first.
If anyone has an old drive....6 to 10 Gigs if fine and I can get it landed here for around $40 max (postage is about $15) i'm all ears ):
I took shwaip's advice and sourced a drive on e-bay.
It arrived today and I managed to get it here within budget.
