I have the following Hard drive Hitachi Travelstar 5K100 HTS541040G9SA00 40GB 5400rpm 150MBps on my Advent 6001 laptop and I want to upgrade to a 250 gb. Any suggestions please? Also need to install Windows but the System setup does not recognise the CDROM.any help would be appreciated.Thanks in advance.
