Thanks; this hard drive was given to me and i was about to throw it out cause it was all dirty and it did not fit in most of my desktops,but coincidently today i did go install a fan in my Ati Amd 6450 video card in my main lenovo pc and for my surprise the plugs fit in my Lenovo Thinkcenter m71e i knew it but i had forget it,it's what happen when one is getting old, i did connected it to test if it was good,it had Win Vista on it, but it did not boot all the way, had errors and also needed name and password, then i had Xubuntu 1310 in a USB stick booted with it and tested it and it came up good,then installed linux and now i have an extra hard drive, what a luck,also by coincidence i was looking at the ram slots and see that i can add one more slot of 4gb ram to make it 8gb, well this day was a full day of surprises.
