Well, this is a 40 Gigabyte drive. I just installed 2 80 Gigabyte
drives in 2 desktops using windows 98 and had no problem at all.
Unfortunately, I am much more used to working on desktops. Laptops
are a whole new area for me. I suppose the different processor could
come into play too. This is my first experience with AMD. All my
other computers are Intel.
