The dm600 uses an IDE drive so you cannot install the SATA drive.

What about if u were to uas a converter somthing like this

IDE to SATA 100/133 Converter + Cable For HD/DVD BD Rom on eBay (end time 14-Jul-09 20:27:43 BST) (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IDE-to-SATA-100-133-Converter-Cable-For-HD-DVD-BD-Rom_W0QQitemZ280370365663QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Com puting_CablesConnectors_RL?hash=item41476044df&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12|66%3A2|39%3A1|72%3A1690|293%3A1| 294%3A50)

I would expect the adpater to be fine but you would have a problem with the power for the adapter.

That looked ok but the IDE connectors on a 2.5" hard drive is different to the one on a 3.5" hard drive. Maybe the SATA
connecters are different too??

This could possibly work;

2.5" SATA Hard Drive to IDE 44 Pin Adapter For Laptop Drives (http://www.cooldrives.com/2sahadrtoide.html)

[2.5" SATA] cost about the same but have double the storage...
2.5" PATA drives are still available and (for the time being) are roughly the same price as SATA for a 320gb (~?40-50).

But they are slowly being phased out so prices will soon go up.

Just use an IDE/SATA converter and you can install a HD to dm500
