    Hi

    I am upgrading the RAM and hard disk on my PCG-TR2 and was wondering if anyone knew what kind of hard disk to buy and what will be the maximum capacity that it will support?

    I hear its a 160GB IDE hdd I need to buy but thats the only info I could find out.

    I've tried googling for this but couldn't really find anything useful. Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks

    Judging by your laptop model you should be able to put as large as a 250GB EIDE Hard drive in your notebook. The Intel chipset you have in that one should support that.

    Your computer takes a 1.8 drive.
    Can you look in the device manager to let us know what the model number is of the HD that you have installed.
