Dell Dimension 2350 HDD Upgrade
Hi folks,
First post here, so go easy on me!
My machine, as above, has the original 60Gb hard drive ( shipped January 2003 ), and all is OK. However, a friend of mine bought a Hitachi Deskstar 7K160 160Gb 3.5" PATA Internal Hard Disk Drive for his pc, which is no longer required. This is the item. Can I use it on my D2350? The only upgrades I have done to my machine are a RAM ( to 1Gb ) and of course XP to SP3.
I have the reinstallation discs that shipped with the pc, and the XP Reinstallation disc is SP1.
I read that the 2350's originally shipped with 120Gb max hard drives? As my BIOS has not been upgraded since new, would it be able to handle 160Gb capacity?
I really would appreciate any advice offered.
