I was wondering if anyone has upgraded the hard drive in their L25-S1193? How easy was it? What kind of hard drive would you recommend that I replace it with?
Guess I should take the opportunity to explaine what it is I am looking to do with the computer. I plan on moving to Linux in the next few months and plan on using it as a dual boot machine with the smallest possible alocation to Windows as possible. I guess that works out to about 15 gigs. I would then allow 10 gigs for Linux and any apps associated with it. Another 2 gigs would go to a swap partition. And the rest would go to a FAT32 formated partition that could be read by both Windows and Linux. I also plan on buying an mp3 player soon and will need a decent amout of memory to move my music collection to, as well as, start putting new music on it.
That's all I can think of right now. I had planned on getting at least a 100 gig drive and hopefully a 7200rpm one would be able to work. Any suggestions you guys have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
