My original 80G hard drive died (ironically, the same day I received notification of their bankruptcy/liquidation and therefore, the demise of my extended warranty...) and I've replaced it with a 160G hard drive.
Both are WD Blue Scorpio with essentially identical specs other than the size. Should this work? I'm getting sluggy, squirrelly performance--erratic, intermittent delays, programs that won't install (.NET, for example). Western Digital thinks it should work. Any experiences?
If the BIOS will only recognize a certain size of HD (seems like I see 137G, an interesting number, batted around out there) can I use Acronis or another utility to partition down to that size?
Thanks!.
