Hello.. i'm wondering if anbody knows the difficulty in replacing the hard drive on a toshiba 5100 notebook.. its about 2 years old and the person is finding he needs more space.. $200 is a significantly more cost effective route then $3000 for a new system haha..

in my hp unit replacing the HD is ultra simple.. i just uncrew 4 screws remove the cover unscrew 2 more screws remove the cable and i'm done..

wondering what kind of job i have just volunteer'd myself for.

Not hard. Set the jumper to force the drive to be master, rather than cable-select.
