Does anybody have any idea of what model 40GB hard drive originally shipped with a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100? The complete part number of the laptop is: PS610U-JN5E87.

I have been given one of these laptops with no hard drive in it. I have tried installing three different newer and larger hard drives in it, but each time I get an error that indicates that I need to update the BIOS to use the drive (according to information from the Toshiba website).

I am not comfortable updating the BIOS and would rather just put a hard drive in it that will just work.

I only want to install the same 40GB drive that came with the machine. I'm sure it's a Toshiba hard drive, but if anybody could send me the actual model of the drive I would be eternally grateful!!!
