Hi all

Im not fully up-to-speed on laptops!

I have a laptop here that needs a new hard drive

its a Tiny 360+
Celeron 1.2
256Mb RAM

not sure what else

but the hard drive is a Toshiba 20Gb , it has one conector, and i counted the pins, there are 43 of them.

Will any "laptop" hard drive fit?

shall i post pics?

Cheers

As long as it's an 2.5" IDE drive (not SATA) and slim enough to physically fit in the machine then it should work.

Toshiba do make tiny HDD's smaller than 2.5", which are actually also used in iPods aswell as some small Toshiba laptops.
