I have heard a lot of people talking about the problems with upgrading hard drives in thei ThinkPads, but I was wondering if there were any problems upgrading to a bigger and faster (100GB 7200RPM or 120GB 5400RPM) hard Drive.

Can this be done in my thinkpad without having any problems?

i think it's only the T43s that have the bios problem. i want one of those 100gb 7200rpm drives, but i can't find them anywhere.

That's what I am looking at, but unfortunately, I, as well as everyone else, are having problems finding them. If you find one, shoot me a pm. Thank you for the reply.

Wow! They are all sold out. I wonder why noone has them in stock. Are they in that big of a demand? That sucks. Ohh well, i guess I can wait.

Will this work in my T42p?

Just wait for 1-2 months. Once Seagate and Hitachi start fighting in the 7200rpm arena, the hype will go down and so will the prices.

I've heard that they are indeed old out due to great demand
