Upgrading My hard drive

I have a hard drive:
Western Digital
WD Caviar SE
WD 1200(120g)
MDL:WD1200JB
EIDE

And i want to upgrade it with a bigger hard drive for more room.

Would it be possible to put a:
Western Digital
WD Caviar SE
WD 1600(160g)
MDL:WD1600AAJB
EIDE

in my comp, or does the hard drive have to be a JB instead of a AAJB

No, they're both IDE so the new drive should work. You'll need a Windows XP installation disc that includes SP1 or SP@ in order to recognize the full size of the drive on installation.
