Laptops use 2.5" hard drives and you need to see if it's a IDE or SATA HDD (IDE is basically the same as ATA...ATA-6 is the same as ATA100).
Fujitsu laptop hard drives are good. Seagate and Western Digital makes good desktop hard drives but I'm not sure how their laptop hard drives are. I think I would get a Fujitsu.  Cricket

The best laptop drives are Seagate and Hitachi. I agree with you on Toshibas, they are junk. Fujitsu and WD can be problematic.
Believe it or not, I've also had decent luck with Samsungs. |
