I have been looking online for a bit now and I cannot find any information about hard drive upgrades for my Sony VGN-A190.

I contacted Sony and they refused to help me stating that there were no available upgrades for my model.

I am interested in either

HITACHI Travelstar 7K100 HTS721010G9AT00 (0A25015) 100GB 7200 RPM ATA-6
or
Seagate Momentus 7200.1 ST910021A 100GB 7200 RPM ATA-6

I just wanted to know if

1. are these HDs compatible?
2. Will it fry my computer?
3. Where do I find the instructions to physically change out the drives

Any help is appreciated, thank you
