Yes you will be able to put a 500gb in your system, but you might only pick up between 460 and 480gb's dont worry this is normal, make sure you use a dos disk to partition the drive using fdisk before you boot the operating system up, if you dont the drive will show up in device manager but wont show up in my computer icon.

check the memory or replace it.

Just the jumper settings on the back,,should be a diagram on the hard drive
