Default Re: 2510p - SATA SDD/HDD & CPU upgrades?

Hi,

I tried the caddy from notebook elite from ebay.
I tried it on a HP NC2400 which is the same as the 2510p but one generation older with diferent chipsets.

I installed a seagate momentus 3 - 80GB 2.5" and it didnīt recognized the HD.
I tried installing XP with no sucess and the parttion manager i usually use didnīt recognize the HD also...

So for NC2400 users itīs useless!!

PLEASE, if you hve any sucess with the caddy on the 2510p please let us know something, ok?!?

At least iīm interested because i would sell my NC2400 to buy a 2510p if i could intall a 2.5" HD on it...

Hope it works!
