New HDD Wanted for Laptop
You may have seen in another thread I posted on here that my laptop HDD is dying... as such I want to research a new one and plan before it dies fully...
Firstly, I need to decide which one to get - I don't need to look for the cheapest £/gb as I don't need anything massive - I don't store media on it. I just want something reliable and robust.
Can anyone suggest something that fits the bill? - In the past I've been keen on Seagate as they seem to have a decent rep - is that still the case?

So, I open the lappy and exchange the HDDs, I am assuming that will seem obvious, just a bit more awkward being a laptop rather than desktop.
The thing I've never done is install an OS on a brand new never used HDD! - It's always been a reinstall or an install on top of an old one etc... so what's the deal here?!
Also - I have Vista Home Premium OEM from Dell, is it worth me trying to do a dual boot install with this and one of the latest Linux distros?
