My friend's Dad has an old P3 Computer. Its 20GB HDD has crashed completely. Now he asks me if he buys a new hard disk that would be at least 40GB or greater as lower than that is not available in market, so, would that old machine support 40GB or more? Well I'm not sure. Could you suggest?

i have a p3 with a 40 and 60 in it, seems to work fine.
if you go past 120 some hd and systems have some sort of unlocking problem which on 1 machine I couldn't get around but maybe on others i dont know. stay under 120 gig to be safe because chances are you won't be able to access any more than 120 gig and it becomes a waste of money.

It really depends on the computers bios if it will support large drives. I would say yes. but then again you could go w/ a whole new desktop pc w/ a large hdd for around 2 to 3 hundred dollars but I am simply making a suggestion.hdd's being larger than 100 gigs on new pc's.

Yes, the ability to support it doesnt have to do with capacity has to do with motherboard and whether it is IDE or SATA etc
