Will an X30, P3 1.2Ghz handle a 100GB Hard Drive??

I am upgrading my Dell 700m to a 160GB hard drive and will have a 100GB Hard drive available, it is a Seagate ST9100823A. I plan to install this into my IBM X30, which has a 60GB HD. Can it handle a 100GB HD??

 

yea it can. Why don't you give it a try you already have x30 and 100gb next to ya.

just test for it to not post any error no need to reinstall windows or anything

 

Thanks for the advice, but too much trouble to install/reinstall HDs. I am expecting to order the new HD (160) on Monday, and then I will install the 100G in the X30 and install the OS and so forth. I just wanted to make sure the it would hanlde it or if not, I could use it as storage for music and videos.
The one other positive aspect is the speed, it is 5400rpm, so I will increase my HD speed from 4500rpm to 5400 rprm.

 

Follow up question, I got this message on another tread about the 100GB hard I am using to replace. Note that the HDD you selected will not work as the 700m uses a Parallel ATA or what newegg categorized them as ATA-6 does the X30 use a Parallel ATA??? would this HD from a Dell 700m be compatiable.???

 

Yes they are compatible.

 

Okay, I recieved my 160G HD for my Dell 700m, *installed and working*. Now, I took the 100G HD from that same Dell and try to install it in the X30 and when I tried to reformatte, it gave me an error about paritiions and something. I am reformating it, but want to know it this is actual compatiable with an X30?/
