My 1670 CDS HDD is crashed

Question

Hi, my internal harddisk (6.0 Gb S.M.A.R.T.) is crashed, I can't use Fdisk anymore so, it's over for me. Does anyone know what harddisk is inside my notebook? Does anyone know if I can put a bigger (20Gb) harddisk in my notebook and can I run WinXP on it? How much memory do I need to run XP on a bigger HDD. How do I replace my harddisk anyhow.
If you respond, please don't use difficult words, I'm dutch and my technical english is not real good. Thanks

Answer 1

Hello
In my opinion the unit should run well using OS but you should use max RAM memory (160 MB is max). I have found information that the computer supports a 6.0 GB HDD, up to 10.0 GB HDD.
As far as I know HDD is placed under the keyboard. If you want to exchange it alone you must first remove the strip cover. It is a plastic part and is placed over the keyboard. Under this cover you can find screws who fix the keyboard. Remove them and gently lift the keyboard. Now you can see a HDD.
If you have no much experience don`t do it alone. You can damage some other hardware components.
Good luck!
