Upgrading HDD on T42

[helical]

I would like to upgrade the Hard Disk on my T42 2372 KA6.
I can't find any HDD models in list at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-62282 I just find a 80GB Hitachi HDD (HTS541280H9T00). Can I use this model on my T42?

You can put just about any IDE 2.5" notebook hard drive into a T42. The problem with Firmware is with the T43s, that have a SATA->PATA bridge which is NOT present on your T42.
