1) Don't buy the hard drive from Dell unless the price is good.  A 160gb drive should be $40 or so after rebates.

2) A 160 may be a Maxtor.  If so, don't buy it.

3) You have 30gb of hard disk, not memory.  It's different.

4) Your 2400, if your Windows disk says SP1, SP1a, or SP2 on it can use a boot drive of any size.

5) Your 2500 can add a 2nd drive with a bracket, link on my site.  That's the easiest thing to do unless your 30gb drive failed.
