Replacement HDD for Inspiron 4100

[jwhicks727]

I'm trying to get my wife's Inspiron 4100 up and running and need to replace the hard drive. After some searching, I found great prices on laptop hard drives on pricegrabber, etc, but none of them are Ultra-ATA. I also found some HDDs specifically marketed for the 4100, but they were really expensive. Can I get just any Ultra-ATA drive and replace the facing (looks pretty easy to do), or do I need the ones marketed specially for my computer? Also, any idea where I can find good prices on Ultra-ADA 2.5" drives? Thanks.

Any one will do. You haven't mentioned capacity. I get all my laptop HDDs from Newegg or ZipZoomFly. They are as good as anyone for price and availability.
