Gateway Parts

Where can I get a cheap hard drive for my laptop?

My computer has crashed, and I need to get a new hard drive for it. I own a Gateway MT6711 Notebook. It has a 160 GB 5400 RPM SATA hard drive, and Windows Vista. I need a good place online to get one. I am a sophomore college student, so I don't have a lot of money to spend on it. Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!

1. Check www.newegg.com, they have great prices on all things computer. I just bought 4GB of additional memory for $39. The same thing was going to $80 on HP.com, just as a reference.
2. Newegg.com
3. tigerdirect at http://www.tigerdirect.com or newegg at http://www.newegg.com Most modern laptops uses a 2.5" hard drive with a sata connection. Although if you never got a restore or backup disk for the OS, you might have to buy a new OS diskor contact your manufactuers to give you one. Both ways it costs money. Or you can try a freeware linux OS such as ubuntu at http://www.ubuntu.com

5. I am surprised that that would happen. Is your laptop fully broken? What happens when you turn it on? Please give me more details and i would be glad to help.
6. Ebay is a great place. Type in 160 gb internal drives and bid or use the buy it now or make offer option. I found a 120 gb hard drive for $39.00!!
