Laptop Hard Drive Replacement

Hello chaps,

should probably have put this posting up BEFORE I persuaded a buddy to part with £100 for a 80 gig drive for his laptop but there we go hehe! It's only HIS money I'm after spending......

He has an Inspiron 4000 with a 20 gig drive and I persuaded him to upgrade to an 80 gig unit. As an after thought I'm slightly concerned the bios MIGHT not be able to recognise it. Does anyone have any thoughts as to whether I should leave the country before it arrives?

Also am I likely to have any problem reinstalling the drivers? It's only about three years old and runs on a 1Ghz processor. Currently has XP home upgrade overlaid on the original ME supplied and will be putting that arrangement back on as an OS.
