That harddrive should fit fine. It should not be too complicated to do. Where do you live? You might be able to get a much better drive that that for less money.

Sounds like one I used to have.

How you like it, oh master of the Commode?

Most of the HDDs I've seen in lappies, are easy to remove. Just a screw or 2, and it comes right out.

just found out its a Dell Latitude C810. is it still possible to swap out the hdds ?

If it's an IDE HDD, larger than about 2 GB, (the old one) it should fit right in.

yup just make sure it's a 2.5" drive

the 3.5" drives don't fit.

sorry for stating the obvious but obvious things are overlooked more often than non obvius things. My freinds say I always have a firm grasp on the painfully obvious
