I'll bet that the 20 GB drive *will* work just fine, but your laptop 
computer will only "see" the first 10 GB and so that's all you'll be able 
to access. You'll have trouble finding a new disk drive as small as 10 GB, 
even for a laptop.

A great place to check is www.pricewatch.com.They list all sorts of 
suppliers in order of price.  Also, I've found that newegg.com is usually 
quite competitive in their pricing and are very reliable. You can often 
find deals on old equipment from refurbishing houses on pricewatch.  The 
parts may not be new, but they're cheap and plentiful.
