Again, a much newer model than the original 1200s, In your case, March 2000
vs. Jan. 1999.

I replaced my 5 gig with 20gig toshiba on my 1200 xl118
no problems at all . the pheonix bios f10 (I believe) recognized it right
off.

The top of the 1200 series line, the 1279, had only a 4.8GB drive, so
there
may be an 8 GB drive size limit in BIOS on the series. There is no way
to
tell for sure if this is the case or not. If you could find an 8 GB
drive,
or a 10 GB drive (only 8 GB might be recognized) you could replace the
original 4GB drive. As an alternative, you could use drive overlay
software
(available from the HD manufacturer) and install a larger drive, but
this
would slow down an already slow hard drive.

Hi, I am giving my granddaughter my old 1255 LT and was wondering if
there
is anyway to upgrade the 4GB HD internally - do not wish to use a USB
external HD
TIA
