I need to replace my hard drive in my Viao PCG-GR370 laptop. Is it possible to put in a larger than 30 GB drive?

any external hard drive will work just conect it via usb.

I'd give up on that idea. Modern laptops are a nightmare to dissemble, and even if you manage it, the motherboard itself may not have a spare slot for a WLAN card. Buy a USB based WLAN device instead .. much easier.

Well, you need more RAM. 1 GB is not enough for Vista Ultimate. Contact Dell to upgrade and add a 2 GB memory module for a total of 3 GB. Apparently, you have 30 GB disk full with the Vista OS and software programs. At some point, I'd like to see you extend your partition for your 160 GB drive so that "C" is much larger than 40 GB. You'll need one-one assistance via FixYa.

hi, you could either replace the hard drive for a larger one or invest in an external hard drive, these are really cheap at the moment and you can purchase a 1TB (1000gb roughly) for less than £80. i recommend ebuyer, fast delivery and value for money. (can i plug ebuyer?)

You can use 20/40 Gb hard drives. the BIOS may be too old to support the 60/80Gb hard drive.
The only problem is, that it is impossible to purchase new hard drives of these capacities, the smallest capacity available now are 120Gb and larger.
You may be able to get 2nd hand drivers, but you won't not know how long they will work until they fail, probably doesn't matter, they should be cheap.

It should wark just fine

the cmos battery is under the palm rest of the viao....requires you to take off the keyboard and undo 2 screws holding the palmrest on....slide the palmrest off....battery is plugged into the touchpad circuit board

The motherboard does not support SATA. If you want to use SATA, you'll have to use an adapter. Not sure if this is possible in your laptop. Also I don't think this increases performance very much.
So it's not gonna be a faster drive, but larger can...

You can only use memory PCG-GR370.
To reach 1GB buy two (2) of these.
