    I currently have an Acer 5630WMLI bought in 2007, it has a 120G Toshiba MK1234GSX Sata hard Drive. I currently dual boot between Linux Mint 7 and Windows Vista and am running out of space. I would like to change the disk to a 320gb drive, I have looked at the Toshiba MK3252GSX but I can't find if it is compatable with my system.
    The Bios is 3.03 dated 11/10/2006

    Is it possible to use this drive? :confused:

    That should be fine, you can go up to 500GB if you want.
