just to update this, i bought a 40GB harddrve, installed it and it workes perfectly, had a bit of trouble getting the cd rom drivers onto the hdd so the laptop could boot to windows by after about an hour it was up and running.
right cool, well i will get it tomorrow, then i will post back wiht the out come
is there anything i could tell you that would give you more info on what hard drives it can take? or is it just a trial and error kinda thing
sorry for the dumb question but cant i just buy a new hard drive and put it in as i found a shop near me that sells the same type just with more space, or is it what i though and my BIOS will not run anything over 6 GB?
ive been looking for a replacement all day and as i though non exist apart from ebay and i really dont want to do it that way
Well unfortunatley that didnt work, any other suggestions?
