imho i would go for the disk's
i could up-load mine..but i am in canada
and our s/w is dif then your's
so it is no good for usa game unless u swap out u17
which again imho is not worth it..
reason i do not tend to buy used hd's from fleabay is u never know how they were handled,lord u got to know some one with the size drive u need ?
if not go to a local putter shop or electronic repair shop they will have them
just make sure it is freshley formated..reason is in the windows formating it will chk track 0 and 1,they must pass a test,
then with the disks,u start at rescue..it will format the drive for u also
then it will start to load the game
