    Question

    I have an 4 year old Dell Latitude C800 and the 20gb hd 4200 rpm just crashed and burned.

    Can I put an Western Digitial 40gb 5400 rpm (2.5 inch) to replace it ? I know the C800 will support a 40gb drive , just wondering if any old 2.5 inch will do ?

    thx........dy

    So the answer was yes. Bought a 40gb HD - took the adapter off the old 20gb IBM - slapped it on the Fujistu drive and we are good to go.

    Might get another few years outta this guy yet [ :D]
