Re: Fujitsu laptop upgrade

On almost all laptops, it is possible to change the drive without major disassembly. It's rarely necessary to remove more than two screws to remove the hard drive (there are exceptions, however).

I don't know your laptop specifically, but it's likely that it will accept any hard drive with the proper interface (e.g. IDE or SATA). If this is not the case and there is a limit, it's probably 120MB.

Hi
I have an Amilo A1630 and want to upgrade the hard drive. Can anyone tell me
what the maixmum capacity drive I can put into it is please ? Also, it looks
quite complicated to strip down - does anyone know of any sites etc that
explain step-by-step how to get the drive out of the chassis (pref with
pictures)
Thanks for your help
