What Hard drive to I have ?

[40bowtie]

I know this may sound dumb, but I have this hard drive that I can figure out what it is.
 Quantum Fireball plus LM 3.5 series. From that how do I tell what size it is before putting it in an old computer ? Any help would be great.

Thanks!

Exactly what markings are on the hard drive?  Anything that might indicate a specific model?  And, see http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Quantum+Fireball+plus+LM+3.5+series&btnG=Google+Search

Might be easier to approach from the computer angle.  Exactly what make and model computer is that?  And, why not connect that hard drive to that computer as a slave drive?  If you can get your comp to recognize the HD that way, you should be able to determine what size it is.

I like soybean's idea of slaving it.
Then you could run Everest Home (Free) Edition to see exactly what it is.
And... that way you could run a diagnostic on it before you get too involved with it.
Lacking that, I would bet on 30GB if it's an LM.
