    I have a Dell e1505 (Insporon 6400).
    It has a 60gb hard drive and I'd like to upgrade to the largest drive this machine will support.

    I believe this laptop has a 60gb SATA drive currently.
    What is the largest drive this laptop can support?
    Any recommendations?

    It should work with the largest drive you can find. Make sure you have the latest BIOS for it.

    So, the most current BIOS should support a 7,200 160gb hard drive?

    Sometimes it's not the keyboard, but the actual mind of the person that's causing the erratic typing.
