I have a hp pavillion ze4900 laptop with a 60 Gb Ultra Ata 100, 4200 rpm hard drive

I am getting a very good price for a 120 gb SATA-150, 2.5 inch, 5400 rpm hard-drive for my laptop........

Is my laptop compatible with this drive and if not then can i do something about it??

Thanks

Ultra ATA = PATA = Parallel ATA
SATA = Serial ATA

You could put the drive in a USB drive case and use it as an external disk.

There are PATA to SATA convertors for desktops, but such a device would not fit inside your laptop.

external case
