tendouser Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Can I upgrade this 40GB HDD for a larger one (80GB) if I buy this laptop?? http://cgi.ebay.com/IBM-Thinkpad-T43-Pentium-M-1-8GHz-2048MB-40GB-CD-RW-DVD-/280693618350?pt=Laptops_Nov05&hash=item415aa4b6ae Thanks for your comments.

Stooney Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Yep. You'd probably be looking for a 2.5" PATA notebook hard drive, such as this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136129 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tendouser Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 BIOS display an error with some 2.5" hdd for this laptop. That's the reason I'm asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stooney Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Well in that case you're best off buying a ThinkPad brand hard drive. If it were me, I would rather invest in a newer laptop rather than let the old one start to nickle and dime me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
