Active System Protection (ASP) : change Hard Disk

[BeWog]

Hi !

I bought a IBM ThinkPad T42p 2374-WML (second-hand). I would like to change hard disk because 60GB is too just for me.

But if I change it, will I always have the "active system protection" ?

Other question :  currently, I have a Hitachi hard disk : HTS726060M9AT00 ATA Device  (60 Go, 7200 RPM, Ultra-ATA/100) and it supports "Adaptive Battery Life Extender" (ABLE). Will I see a difference if the new hard disk doesn't support it ?

Thank you for your help.

Can't help you on the second quesiton, but for the first, yes, you'll still have active protection.  Its components are on the board; the drive doesn't matter.

Thank for you reponse.

I don't know if my question was correct, but to be sure, with an other hard disk, ASP will continue to be active.

Yes, active protection will continue to work, even if you replace the hard drive.
