    hi guys, i need your help.
    i looking to upgrade my N6420 HD but i need some question to be answered
    1. what's max size of HD i can put into?
    the spec say 200GB or 400GB (2x200GB)
    if i pop in 320GB or 500GB, would it work?

    2.i looking for pictures or instruction on how to change HD on N6420, so far i have found non.
    can you guys direct me to the right place?
    so far my 160GB still has 45GB free
    but that is because i just got a 500GB external esata HD.
    i move all the MP3, Video to external HD.
    my psql database is 65GB already (from april 07-Nov.08)
    not sure vista and office and all other program endup using in space.
    i deleted restore point daily....
    i fear that in 3-6 month. my HD will be full.
    i only use this for PSQL database....... prefer not to buy a new notebook.

    thank you for all your help

    1. Max size should be a 500GB 5400RPM SATA HDD.
    2. There should be notes about it in the owner's manual. Or at least a certain panel you have to unscrew to access the HDD/s. If not, it's either through the keyboard or the underside.

    Have you installed the new HDD? I have a new WD Scorpio 360 MB Drive ready to go in ... and I don't know where the HDD compartment is located.
    Would appreciate any help.
