I did a search, but couldn't find anything for R32's. I'm going to get a 40gb, effectively doubling my HDD capacity.

That will work fine and give you a noticeable performance boost...

I just added more memory also. I went from 384 to 512 mbs. I'm excited. It'll be like a new Thinkpad.

i just purchcased a 7200 rpm drive for our r32 but haven't installed it yet. (i purchased 2, actually...put one in my t41 and that was, of course, fine).

i don't expect any problems with the drive in the r32

I'm backing up now. As soon as it goes in, I'll let you guys know how it went.

Wow...this thing is like a new machine. I think I'll be able to tolerate it a bit longer.

A new XP Pro install and shell replacement (Aston shell) later, and it's moving along great. I actually enjoy this thing now.

Since I put a new HDD in, does anyone know how to restore the volume and mute buttons on the R32?

May be with the hotkey driver?
