Is there a limit as to the HDD capacity I can add to this laptop?
Running BIOS A11 presently. Dell Support was pretty much worthless (go
figure). All I was told was that this laptop had a capacity of 60GB
(yes, probably when new), but even BIOS version A09 references a fix
to properly show HDD sizes greater than 65GB, so it seems evident
larger drives are OK, I just don't know how large it will support.

Some years ago I went to increase the HDD in a CEO's Sony VAIO
desktop, to find that there was no BIOS update to take the unit beyond
something like 40GB, so the 120GB drive he wanted me to install kinda
didn't work....

TIA
