Still owning an old Sony SZ1XP laptop and was wondering if anyone have ever replaced the stock HD with a newer 7200 RPM HD

Main question i would like to ask if i am limited to a certain size of 7200 RPM HD

For example: in this site http://laptoplogic.com/resources/detail.php?id=43
It says the following "up to a 120GB 5400RPM hard drive"

Does this mean i can only fit a harddrive of max. 120gb in the laptop?

Can anyone confirm or tell otherwise that it is possible to put a bigger sized hd

Thank you!

the link means you can order it from the factory with upto a 120GB HDD

you can stick any 2.5" SATA hard drive in there
