Alternative SE SCSI disk drive

[Tim Rotunda]

I have a D-210 with a crashed disk. It isn?t on support and I am scrambling to find a disk drive for it. I need one tomorrow and I can?t seem to find an HP replacement. Does anyone know of an alternative non-HP, SE SCSI 9GB drive model I could use (like one available from CDW or somewhere like that) as a substitution?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Should be no prob, unless it is not the boot disk.
I have an old E45 as a toy/test box, which runs several PC-SCSI drives [Seagate, Fujitsu, IBM (all the garbage, that was needed nowhere)], but beside the boot-disk.
In fact I never tried to install to a non HP boot disk, but I remember, it was offered for installation by the installation CD.
But I never validated, if it would have been bootable.
Hope this helps

No points for this one needed :-)

In fact this is a root disk. It sounds like the install should handle this?
