That's what I thought, but the way you originally worded it implied
otherwise.

2.5" hard drives have been getting thinner and thinner as the years go
by. None of the SATA ones I've seen (320GB or smaller) are very
thick, certainly nothing like the old 20GB PATA drives.
Best to measure the old one and shop for one the same thickness.
The interfaces are standard, but th

No, serial ATA drives use a serial connection and are not
interchangable with PATA, at least not in a laptop with no room for a
converter board.
However, any serial ATA 2.5" drive will interchange with any other
serial ATA 2.5" drive unless it's too thick to fit. Very unlikely in

If the USB ports don't work with Knoppix I would suspect a hardware
problem rather than a disk problem. A rootkit virus on the non-boot
drive should not affect a Knoppix CD/DVD anyway as it cannot install.
All hard drives have the same connector, either standard parallel ATA
or serial ATA,
OSX won't prevent a hard drive failure though...
Nope, but it comes with Time Machine, which means you
can get _everything_ back, if you have a destination
drive/machine, and bother to turn it on.

B e sure the heat "radiator" is clean. In many laptops you can pull the
keyboard and access the fan and heat pipes/radiator.
One of the biggest issues I saw when I was working on laptops for the school
district was a little "Hitler mustache" you would find blocking off the airflow
to the heat
I got it done with the boot cd. Now dealing with heat. These Lenovo x100e run
very hot and trying to deal with that.
