lurch asked:
I have an older computer, the sony PCV-RX550. My 60 GB HDD is starting to go out, and so I decided it is time to upgrade since it is so hard and not cost effective to try and find a 60 or 80 gb HDD for replacement. i decided to buy a WD 160 gb HDD. The problem is that some friends of mine are telling me that my system may not be able to support or read a drive this big. Now I have all the latest updates from microsoft, and Ive pretty much done everything short of rebuilding the machine to upgrade it. Now Im not sure if im going to have this type of issue or if there is some kind of software or BIOS fix that can be downloaded to solve this issue. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
Im currently running Microsoft xp pro with all the latest updates.
