Mike and Jon,

My computer is a laptop. Should have mentioned that in my original query.

Reading the reviews of the Hitachi Travelstar 80GB that Mike pointed to, 
it appears that others have replaced a 4200 RPM drive with this 7200 rpm 
in their laptops with no problems.

Is there any possibility that the BIOS may have a problem with the change?

Thanks!
