Read your other post, if it can handle a 40, it can handle at least an 80. I'm not sure if their's a limit slightly above 80, but the next limit past that is 127GB.

According to <A HREF="http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/bios/size.htm" target="_new">This Page</A> the limits are 528MB, 2GB, 3GB, 4.2GB, 8.4GB, 33.8GB, 137GB.

Notice there is no limit between 40 and 80, so if you have a 40 you know an 80 works.
