Pretty much anything upto a 120gb ide drive will fit either a 5400 or
7200 unit, though some are wary of the extra heat killing the drive
sooner, but there is a few of us here running them with no problems. The
jumpers just need setting to master, fit the HD, reasemble the iMac,
insert the OS9/X (depending on which system he's running) hold C and use
the disk utility on the CD for 'initialise' the disk, you can also
partition it at this stage and then run the installer.
