I am very happy with my upgraded zt3280us. I am up to 1gb ram and 100b hdd at 5400rpm. I was pondering a few questions while changing out my keyboard, original had a left arrow key that finally broke off, and these keys are better left to micro-surgery if one is to work on them. I managed to disconnect my optical drive, and I wondered if anyone has seen a newer drive, such as one of those shiny lightscribe lappy drives, be implanted into an older notebook. I use lightscribe alot at school, my teacher distributes at lot of notes and lessons on cd, and has me do the lightsribing for them.

My second question is a lighter one. I was browsing the HP Website and stumbled across this remote control:

Part: PT746AA#ABA

I was wondering if this is compatible with the ir port on the sides of the zt3200 series of notebooks. I do a lot of presentations for said teacher and to be able to use a remote from a far would be a good help.

Thanks in Advance for any Help given.

Hello

I have a hp ZT3280US. 80gb HDD, 1gb 2700 RAM, DVD+RW CDRW Drive

I have decided to upgrade my hdd. I currently have a 80gb toshiba drive, that runs at 4200RPM. I bought a 100gb Seagate 5400.b drive to replace it. The HDD came with a macally USB/Firewire enclosure.  I am wondering what are my best options in moving my data from the 80gb to the 100gb. I currently boot into Bootmagic and from there I can go into an XP or an Knoppix/Debian partition. I want to keep my ability to boot after the ghost/copy/clone. I am currenly using about 60gb on my drive with different partitions.

My lappy is particular about booting. It will not boot if I have a flash drive in the USB port, even though I choose to boot to the HDD when I first power on.
