Look up your laptop manufacturer's website and check the manual for expansion options, it should tell you the maximum size. THese days it's not usually a problem.

Well, correct me if I am wrong all internal HDD Laptop drives are 2.5".

I don't think you need to be brand specific just the type of connection in your Laptop.

I did not see the picture you posted but... while typing this I looked into the specs and it says this particular laptop drive connection is IDE...

So whatever size your drive was 160GB, 250GB or more, make sure it is:

2.5" IDE (insertHDDSize) could pick one up from PC World cheapish... or just have a scout on Overclockers or eBuyer... and I use a company called http://www.uk.insight.co.uk helpful I find. Only from a business point of view I use them. Never tried personal.

Edit: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/pag ... _20_0.html

The link above is where I found out, your drive is IDE...

Hopefully this helps.
