No problem, it's a very common mistake. Today people still refer to the case 
that encloses the motherboard, processor, Ram, hard drive,. power supply etc.. 
as a "hard drive"

Thanks guys.. he's updated the ad.

I used to call them hard disks because they had a cool hard shell, definitely 
weren't floppy, and I was 12 years old and never heard of a Hard Drive. LOL

I'm pretty sure that's an external floppy drive.
