    I was wanting to upgrade the NC8430 hard drive (80gb sata hitachi 5200rpm) to 160gb.

    The one I am eying up is thw Western Digital Scorpio (WD1600BEVS 2.5" 160GB SATA 5200rpm)

    Would I be correct in assuming this would work?

    The booklet says the laptop works with 60, 80, 100, and 120 GB but doesn't mention 160 GB.
