By posting the model number you would had a quick answer.Most laptop hard drives have a housing adapter to fit them in the case.If your laptop falls in the "average" category you can buy the new drive and switch the adapter

Have you considered an external drive? You could store all your photos/music on it and keep your laptop's drive free for software. I buy Iomega external hard drives. I have a 500 GB drive that wasn't very expensive. It stores my entire iTunes library and files from my former 2 computers.

the type of hard drive matters big time. there is the ide type & the serial ata type. one wouldn't fit on the slot of the other so its best you know what you should buy.
