    Hi all,

    I'm looking to upgrade the HDD on my laptop (it's currently at 120gb) as my system is becoming pretty slow due to all the space being more or less taken up.

    I was wondering how easy it is to do (opening the laptop, etc.) and any places you'd recommend buying from?

    Cheers in advance.

    It might be quite easy to change HDD in your lappy, but if you want make it faster You can upgrade RAM and clean your OS. You will need it PATA (Parrarel Ata) HDD so you can try get it on ebay, komplett.ie (might have one -not too sure-that's old technology) and few another places

    If it's a speed increase you're looking for upgrading the HD is probably not the best option. As said, max out the RAM first.
    Google a prog called ccleaner and run that, it usually removes a lot of unnecessary stuff thats clogging up your drive.
