Hello, Thank you for responding! Do you know of a place that I can
take it to replace the hard? I'm in Northern Virginia. Do you think
that Circuit City, Best buy, Radio shack or Micro Center maybe able
to do this? What size hard drive will I need to replace the LYRA
X3000 hard drive? I'm sorry to ask so many questions but I'm
desparate to get this thing running like it was before.
