any sata hdd with 2.5 inch form factor with 9.5 mm thickness. Right now the largest made is around 750 gigs, anything bigger would have two platter and the thickness of the drive will be 12.5 mm, which is too thick to fit into the hdd slot.

So, the only way to use a disk that i larger than 120 GB is to Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate?

no you can use disks larger than 120 gigs in XP and Vista too.
