Hi all,
Trying to find a hard-drive to upgrade my LG LS50. I am considering a Hitachi 5K120, or a Momentus 5400.4 120GB hard drive. The problem is there seems to be a lot of different connectors (SATA, ATA, IDE, PATA etc), and I am not sure if I am limited for the size of the HDD.
However, even after extensive googling / reading manual / searching forums - I'm a bit lost about what kind of hard-drive I can use/buy:Code:- Display: 15" SXGA(1400 x 1050) - CPU: Intel® Pentium® M 1.8GHz Dothan - Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 - Video Memory: 128MB - Resolution: 15'inch SXGA(1400 x 1050) - Memory: 1024MB (DDR 333MHz) - HDD: 80GB - ODD: DVD±RW - Wireless: Intel Pro/ Wireless Mini LAN Card 802.11b/g(Mini-PCI) - PC Card: Type I or Type II - Multi-card Reader - Pointing/KBD: Touchpad with 2 buttons / 86 Keys - OS: Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional Editio
Would anyone know which one(s) of the following types of drives would I be able to use?
- IDE
- Ultra-ATA
- Serial-ATA
- Parallel-ATA
Also, I haven't updated the BIOS since I bought the laptop two years ago. I'm also having quite a lot of difficulty looking for a place to upgrade the BIOS (and other drivers) - the LG website seems quite sparse on older models. Would anyone be able to direct me to a place where I could find these drivers/BIOS?
Also, would I be limited as to how many GB my hard drive I could be?
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
