    Hi i have a couple questions I was wandering if you could help me with.

    1) My Acer laptop is under an extended 3year warranty and I was wandering if anyone knew wether upgrading the hard drive from 60gb to 120gb would void it? I have sent an email to Acer but i dont expect a reply until at least the next millenium

    2) I got an express upgrade to Vista Home Premium. Currently i am running Windows XP Media Centre on my laptop (AMD Turion 64 2.0GHz 512KB L2 Cacher, 1.37gb RAM ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 and currently 60GB hard drive) was wandering if you think it is worth upgrading atm or should i wait for service packs to be released?

    p.s note on Acer repairs i had a dodgy charger connection and even though i have the acer advantage warranty and the repair centre is little over 1hour away it still took 2weeks to repair rather than the five working days. Sound familiar? lol

    Upgrading the hard disk shouldn't void the warranty. Almost all notebook manufactures allow the upgrading of RAM and hard disks by the end user. Other components, such as the processor, will void the warranty on most notebooks.
