Question: new 7200rpm 60GB Harddrive for HP ze5170 laptop? OK, I'm trying to upgrade the HD from a 40GB 4200rpm to a 60GB 7200rpm, laptop wont recognize the new HD, HP chat says that only 4200rpm are supported, is this true? I have no experience with laptops, but on my desktop speed  doesn't matter.\n\nThanks

Answer: I have never heard of that, but if they say so then it must be.  Laptops are usually very proprietary and cannot be upgraded much.
