[RESOLVED] Sony PCG-748 hard drive upgrade.

[captpackrat]

Anyone have any idea what is the largest hard drive the Sony PCG-748 will take?

I tried e-mailing Sony for help, but their reply was advice on installing Windows 2000 (huh?)

I think it uses the 430TX chipset, and didn't most motherboard BIOSes of this age have an 8G limitation? Or can this one take a bigger drive?

I'd love to be able to install a new 20G drive, that'd definately help extend the usefullness of this system, and then I can buy a cheep laptop later on and swap in the larger drive.

Largest is 8G, but if I remember correctly, the largest partiton you can have is 4G. Could use software to see if a larger hard drive would work. It is on sony's web page.
