Solved: Replacing/Upgrading Hard Drive
I have a Dell Optiplex GX240, Pentium 4, 1.5Ghz with a 20GB Hard drive. I'm looking to either add an additional hard drive or replace the current one to add to the storage size. In looking around I find IDE, SATA, SCA and SCSI listed under hard drives. My question is how do I find what kind of hard drive to use?

That machine uses ATA (IDE) drives. Depending on the version of the BIOS, it may be limited to 120gig drives.
