I´m trying to figure out what I need, it´s for an old Dell C600 - when searching for the current hardrive (which is a Hitachi Travelstar 20GN), I see that it´s interface is called ATA-4 ? So what is that ? All new harddrives I find are ATA-100 or ATA-133 or S-ATA, I guess I should be looking only at ATA-100, am I correct ? I´ve found 3 ATA-100 drives which suits the pricerange, will these work ?
Hitachi TravelStar 5K160 40 GB
Maxtor MobileMax STM940215A 40 GB
Seagate Momentus 5400.3 ST940815A 40 GB

yes they should work fine. ATA-100 drives are in reality ATA-6 and should be backwards compatible.<

Just make sure that you get the highest RPM speed drive that you can afford for a marked performance improvement.

You can get an adapter cable that will let you hook up the drive to an existing tower IDE controller, which can make it a lot easier to migrate data to the new laptop drive. I got an adapter from newegg.com for maybe $5 bucks US.
