I shall do that then! Thanks for the info party people. Can't wait to have the extra 40 gig for my t42. 40 gigs just doesn't cut it, but now I will have 120, bwahaha.

Would the easiest thing be to get the 2.5 case with usb, and hook that up so I can transfer the files? Or should i get the 2.5 to 3.5 adapter and set up a lan? Decisions decisions!

Can I just put the hard drive into a desktop and then set up a lan? I have no problem re-installing windows, and I usually have to reinstall all my apps anyway (photoshop, dreamweaver, music programs, etc)

I think 80 gigs should be fine for my uses. I don't game, and don't store anything besides music and music recording programs. I'll have to look at the guides on how to install it and clone my drive.

I just purchased an 80 gig hd from a member here, and was curious as to how I can run my oem 40 gig and the 80 gig at the same time. I was told I would have to sacrifice my cd drive for the hard drive, which sucks. Is that the only way to do this? Also, does anyone have an installation guide for put...

I have a t42, ati 9600 64mb, 15" sxga display and I find it really straining on my eyes to have the resolution at 1400x1050 but that's the native resoultion. Is there any way to increase the size of my screen other than changing the resolution? Going to 1028 does not increase the size of the text in...

Can anyone beat $35 shipped? If not, I think I have one I'm going to purchase.

I may end up with an external cdrw/dvdrw because realistically, I am not going to need to burn something on the road, and I hardly take my laptop outside of my apartment.

I am looking at replacing the old one with a oem ultrabay, but don't want another one to crap out on me. Looking to spend under $60 used for it, i have heard about some lg's, but i don't know the model.

I'm looking for a cdrw/dvd ultra slim drive that comes stock in the t42, mine is crapping out, so I need a replacement.

I don't know why, but recently the optical drive on my t42 has begun to crap out, but only in certain instances. The drive can read cd's and dvd's fine, but whenever I try to burn any type of data/media, the burner gets stuck at 7%, right before the lead in. I tried burning as a track at once, but e...
