Hey,
A buddy of mine has an HP OmniBook 2100 Laptop. He has a small HD now, somewhere around 2GB. He wants to get a larger one, maybe around 20 or 30GB, but we're not sure if the BIOS will recognize it. Does Anyone out there know the max size HD this will handle? Thanks A lot!!

My guess is prbably 8gb. But he can download an `overlay' program from the hard drive manufacturer's web site if the Bios doesn't reognize anything larger.
