Thanks for the info, but it doesn't contain the hard drive part number. I've tried installing one 40GB and two 60GB drives in the machine, but I get the error to update the BIOS.

I'm not comfortable updating BIOS on a good day, but this machine has a fluky AC adapter and a battery with next to no life. I'm just not going to take the risk of something going wrong with the power to it in the middle of updating the BIOS. (And, yes, in my life something ALWAYS goes wrong!)

I'm sure that the original, older model hard drive that came with the machine will work. If you happen across that part number, please send it my way!
