Need to replace drive

My E1505 laptop has a (now busted) 120 GB 5400 RPM SATA Internal Hard Drive for Dell E1505 Laptop (http://snpi.dell.com/sna/images/products/large/341-3508.jpg) and I want to replace it with a different drive - the 100 GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA Internal Hard Drive for Dell Inspiron 6400 /E1505 (http://snpi.dell.com/sna/images/products/large/341-3507.jpg). However, looking at the pictures of the two drives I noticed the lack of connection options for the slide in drive in the 100 GB/7200 RPM version. I am stuck having to replaced the 120 GB drive with another of the same (given the trouble I had with it that is not preferable). These are supposed to be E1505 compatible drives, but visually they look different, or is this just in the picture???? Thanks, Declan

Turn off the computer
Remove the power adapter and battery
Unscrew the two screws that hold it in (under the ExpressCard or PCMCIA slot)
Remove the drive from the computer
Unscrew the two screws on either side of the drive
Reattach the screws to the side
Reinsert the drive into the machine, and rescrew it in

Voila ... it's done :D
 
See this site here even though it's a Ubuntu site, it is still 100% accurate.
