This item is sold as a bare OEM drive. No cables, installation screws or software are included. Please Note: This should not be an issue with most modern systems running Windows XP SP1 or later, but to address HDD capacities over 137GB the system and OS need to support 48-bit addressing. This limitation was overcome some time ago with desktop HDD's but is only just becoming an issue with mobile (2.5) drives.
