    Hi all,
    I have an old Toshiba Satellite 4200 laptop and wanted to put a new hard-drive and perhaps RAM in it. :)

    For the hard-drive, would this one fit in there?

    I also read somewhere that the maximum RAM it can have is what it has now, which is 320 MB. Is that true?

    Thanks in advance!
    Hawk103.

    Actually I got another question. :eek:

    This laptop came with no cd for the OS, so if I put a new HDD in there, will I be able to use the same OS? Is there a way to make a cd or something?
