I need to upgrade to a larger drive but not sure what i can go up to can you
help please
This Toshiba Portege 7010CT (a year older than yours, with a 300MHz
P2) is running with a 120GB hard disk. Gross overkill, but I don't
care.
The BIOS doesn't officially support more than 32GB, which is why
Windows 98 cannot access FAT32 partitions beyond that limit, but
Windows 2000 SP4 and KUbuntu Linux 5.10 both override the BIOS to
allow hard disks of arbitrary size.
You might as well buy that 40GB laptop hard drive that has just been
re-offered in u.a.c. The worst that can happen is that you might only
be able to use 32GB of it.
