    You need to check if the hard drive is IDE or SATA , and check the height of the drive you have also , the replacement will need to be the same.

    If you mean bigger in terms or storage capacity, yes.

    For the T30 you'l need an enhanced IDE (ATA-6) 2.5" drive for best results. You can certainly do 160GB, but a web search for 'T30 ATA' should tell you all you need to know.

    Thanks for all yer help with this guys.
    Theres a few hard drives on Komplett are all ATA-100

    Ive googled and read a bit and from one site it said

    "ATA-6 represents the sixth generation of the ATA interface standard. ATA-6 is also known as Ultra ATA/100"

    Those this mean that ATA-6 is ATA-100?
