HP 4150 B, HD with more than 20 GB ..

[Robert Madloch]

Hello,

is there anybody out their who can tell me if it is posible to connect
an new HD with more than 20 GB to an HP 4150 B laptop.

I have a spare HD-holder and want to install a 40 GB (maybe even 60
GB) HD.

On the HP-Site i didn't found any information. My BIOS is the newest
for this product, but that means it is from late 1999.

Every useful information would be fine.

Hello, Robert,

in 1999, 20gig harddisks were already common. How far notebooks are
concerned I don't know, but as long as you don't want to boot from the
second harddisk and are using a 32bit operating system, you should be fine.
Just don't add the harddisk in the BIOS and have it recognized by Windows
2k/XP/Linux.
