I'm wondering if i can increase the hard drive from 200GB to 500GB without frying the motherboard or anything else for that matter.

Yeah you can do that easy, just make sure you ground yourself on the metal case before touching any internal components.

HI and Welcome to Bleepingcomputer!

I don't think you would fry the motherboard as long as you take proper precautions and ground yourself to the case while woking inside the computer.

Now what I need to know is what you mean by increase the hard drive? Are you talking about replacing a 200 GB with a 500 GB drive, or increasing the partition size from 200 to 500?

Other than that, like I said, if you switch out one drive with another, make sure you keep yourself grounded to the computer case, because static electricity is a computers deadliest enemy.

Please take notice. Oreo and I will not be available until June of 2012.
Thank you for understanding my absence, it is job and college related, so all is good. If I do not answer your PMs this is the reason why. See you all soon!
