Replace hard disk and memory?
Hi, Im thinking of buying a Dell Latitude C640 this weekend, but only if I can replace the hard disk and memory with the ones I have left from another portable. It's a hard disk from Toshiba HDD2146 (60 GB) and two 256 MB cards by Apacer. Does anybody know if these are compatible and there won't be any problem in replacing these in the Dell? Thanks a lot!! Amber

The memory isn't that important, but you're sure about the possibility to replace the hard drive? I'm only going to buy the Dell portable if I'm sure I can use the other hard drive.amber_hoek

Sorry, I'm a nitwit, what is EIDE? With respect to the memory, it says Apacer UNB PC2700 CL2.5. Does that tell you anything?- The hardware will work, yes. If you mean you want to transfer a fully installed copy of Windows from a Toshiba to a Dell, then no, that will not work - you will have to reformat and reinstall Windows once you move the drive. If the Toshiba system has a hard drive password, the drive will not work in the Dell, so be sure you remove any system/ hard drive passwords before you attempt to format the drive in the new system.
