Need a new HDD

[pcbird]

So my laptop's 80GB drive is getting full, so I figure I'll bump up to a bigger one. In figuring out what I currently had I worked with HP support and they told me that my BIOS would limit me to 80 GB. True?

I've got a 3 year old HP Pavillion ze2000.

Thanks,

Sam

interesting.. ive never seen a bios limit the actual hard drive space on a drive.. so id actually call bs on that one.. though if for some odd reason they are right.. you can just buy a 2.5" drive enclosure and connect it via USB.. it will be small enough to fit in your pocket pretty much so if your a person that lugs there laptop everywhere having one of those is a good option as well..

Thanks, that's kind of what my thought process was too, just wanted a sanity check. I was pretty sure "modern" BIOS's didn't have such limits. I'm doing some research into my BIOS right now to confirm.
