If your present notebook is average is size, chances are your hdd is 12.5mm in
height (12.7mm max). I've never actually had a Libretto in my hand, but
looking at a picture I'd have to say that the drive in it is either a 8.5 or
9.5mm model. Now it is possible that your hdd may fit, you'd have to check it,
but I would say your chances are, ahem, ultra slim.

They come with 8.5mm drives, with a little bit of packing - 9.5mm
drives will fit OK. I fitted a 4.0 Gb to my Libretto 70CT. I had to
revert to a previous BIOS, however, and the drive MUST be FDISKed in
situ to enable the Hibernation facility.

My Libretto 70CT is for sale, if anyone is interested (UK).

Hi Chris,

The Libretto uses a 2.5" drive. Check out
