John,
I use a Maxtor 120 Gig. This is definitely THE recommended drive for the HD Advance. You can use a 160 Gig version, but the bios only allows for 137 Gigs of usable storage, so it's kind of a waste (this is the same problem with old versions of windows not accepting harddrives over 137 Gigs).
Anyway, for $100 bucks (compusa or check pricewatch.com) the Maxtor 120 is definitely my pick. Anything else is kind of a gamble.
Good Luck!

120GB Ultra Series, 7200RPM, Internal E-IDE Hard Drive

Manufacturer: Maxtor
Mfg Part #: L01P120
Product Number: 298702 (compusa.com)

That is the exact unit I got. Works and fits Perfectly! My understanding is that all Maxtors IDE under 160 Gigs (only 137 usable) work with the system.
It is $115 dollars from comp usa but I have seen it for as low as $80 on pricewatch before (some instant rebate stuff)
You can always check the dimensions of the drive for a relative idea of what you are getting into, but I assure you, if you get the drive I have listed above you will have no problems!
