I have a Dell Latitude LM. The original hard drive quit working. I purchased a Hitachi Model DK239A-65 6.1 GB and the bios will not recognize the drive. Tried to upgrade the bios which seemed to work but I didn't see any difference at all when I went into setup so I'm not sure if the bios upgrade took. ANy suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
