pm Telegrapher, Do you know if a 2.5″ Toshiba HDD will work in an Dell Inspiron laptop?
I am thinking about buying one. Toshiba Satellite M35X uses a regular 2.5″ ATA notebook hard drive. I don’t know witch Dell you plan to buy. Some new notebooks still come with ATA hard drives and some with SATA hard drives. Toshiba HDD will work in a Dell Inspiron laptop if it supports ATA drives. It doesn’t mean that you can install your old drive into a new Dell notebook and boot it to Windows. Before you can use the old drive you have to reinstall the operating system and device drivers, but the drive itself should work in this laptop without any problem. 48 butasan Says: January 21st, 2007 at 11:06 pm In response to “18 Polina Says” I had exactly the same problem, but got mine fixed for free of charge! 49 JB Says: January 24th, 2007 at 4:18 am I have had an A70 for a year and a half and it was purchased from best buy in Vancouver.
