Hey everyone! I've done some searching but haven't come up with a definitive answer on this one yet.

I'm looking to upgrade the hard drive to my T23 and am quite interested in the newer Seagate 160GB 5400.3 hard drive as I want to make it my main computer for school. However, my concern is whether or not the T23 is capable of recognizing such a large drive as I know older desktop motherboards weren't able to see past 137GB or so of hard drive space without a BIOS update or a PCI controller card. I'm curious to know if the same applies to the T23 as well since it is an older generation of computers.

Also, I've been reading about the 2010 error code that occurs when some users update their hard drives. Does this apply to the T23 as well?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry, the sticky seems to have answered my question regarding the 2010 error code.

Also according to the sticky, it seems just about any hard drive capacity should fit. Just hoping someone else would have some confirmation of that. If not, then I'll have to guinea pig the 160GB hard drive on my own.

Bump.

Anyone have any clue about the BIOS issue of not recognizing capacities above 137GB?

Thanks.
