Hi everyone,

I have an Acer TM 803LMI which was purchased in 2002/3 and I need to get a new HDD for it. Is there a size limit for this laptop? The original HDD was a 40 GB, and the one that's on its way out is a 60 GB. I've been looking at a 120 GB drive which are quite cheap these days.

Is there any reason a 120 GB drive may not work in this laptop?

Cheers,
Dany.

i can only think that the biod may not read it and also make sure it is physically the right size aka for a laptop it will need to be 2.5"
