new 7200rpm 60GB Harddrive for HP ze5170 laptop?

OK, I'm trying to upgrade the HD from a 40GB 4200rpm to a 60GB 7200rpm, laptop wont recognize the new HD, HP chat says that only 4200rpm are supported, is this true? I have no experience with laptops, but on my desktop speed doesn't matter.

Thanks

I have never heard of that, but if they say so then it must be. Laptops are usually very proprietary and cannot be upgraded much.

Your laptop probably cant supply the needed power for the new hard drive.
