Will this harddrive work in my laptop?

[fr0sty]

Hi all! I was going to be upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04 on my Gateway M1300 Tablet, but decided it was time to get a new harddrive and have a clean install of Lucid instead. The question is, will the hard drive listed below work with my bios? I haven't bought it yet, but thought somebody might be able to tell me if I am headed in the wrong direction. I have included a link from Gateway's page on the tablet as well as the harddrive from neweggg. The tablet is like 8 years old...

you need to take care of interface and physical dimensions

Thank yon very much for pointing out that I needed too look at the dimensions. It looks like it will Fit but I was worried if the PATA drive will work in my laptop. I guess so. Thanks!
