Looking for small ATA HDD

Decided to salvage my old windows 95 PC and use it for editing purposes, mainly because DX only looks half decent on a voodoo 3dfx gfx card. Only problem is that the HDD has been robbed for use in a better PC

I'm looking for the smallest functional HDD that anyone has, because I'm not going to put more than windows 95 and Unreal engine 1 based programs on it - If anyone has one going spare or gathering dust, please PM me or reply to this topic!

Thanks

No. Dont Format It. Do Gutmann 35 Passes. :P
And BTW Wrap It Well. Ive Had HDS Get Damaged In The Post
When They Are Not Wrapped Well Enough.
(Like Someone Who Wanted Me to Try And Recover Deleted Files.
And Sent It Unprotected In An Envolope. :lol: Heads Got Stuck In Their Parked Position (An IBM So No damage Done)(Their Heads Park Outside Platters) So I Had To Unstick Them And Do The Undeletes Fast (And then Imaged The Opened HD To A Healthy Disk)
Once Opened Outside Of A Cleanroom Consider It Dead. Or Dying(Unless You Window It (Yes its cool to do).

Lol ive seen them. They use a stepper motor actuator. Ive Opened One Before. (I think it was a segate) 40MB. And then Windowed it. I still have it somewhere. It worked the last time i used it.
but 40 MB. Back in the time that would have been the best lol.
