Just about any *SLIMLINE* (12.5 mm thickness or less), IDE-type 2.5" notebook drive will do. I put a Toshiba (don't recall model number) in my TP 560 about 2 or 3 months ago. 2.1 GB size--works splendidly. >And will I be able to install a new drive myself? Piece of cake. Just go to the web site to get some diagrams, etc. so you have a good idea of what you're doing. >Will this void the warranty? Yes. Anytime you open up the machine without being an authorized IBM rep, you'll void the warranty. However, the warranty is only 1 year, so unless you just got this thing, you're likely close to the end of the warranty anyway. ------- Randal J.
