Upgrading Laptop HD, advice please

[Penguin man]

Thanks for reading and in anticipation of response.

I am about to order a new hard drive (Seagate 120Gb) to replace the 30Gb currently chock full. I have swapped out many HD's in a desktop but would like advice whether there are additional steps or considerations I should make for a lappy. I have the back-up set of Cd's for the laptop, which should contain all the drivers for the chipset, although I intend to burn the drivers to a seperate CD for insurance.

Any advice gratefully received

Thanks for that, you are right I haven't found my way into the old one yet....but I will.

I'll check the physical dimensions also, as I hadn't considered there might be a difference
