I have replaced the hard drive and now it seems to run very hot (i.e.- too uncomfortable for a lap). The heat is felt near the hard drive, and everywhere on the underside of the case. Does this sound normal?
I replaced the original 5 gb hard drive on my Kanga (3500 with 160 ram, running OS 9.1) with a Fujitsu Laptop 18GB 4200RPM hard drive, Model MHJ2181AT. It was a used drive from a Windows machine but formatted perfectly, partitioned into 3 perfectly, and runs very smoothly as I am installing systems and programs on each partition. I am pleased with the speed and performance, but not the heat. Is there a cause for concern (too big a drive, wrong speed, etc.)?
