VGN FE21B - REPLACEMENT HARD DRIVE?

Hi

Having dropped my Vaio and broken the HDD i contacted Sony and they quoted £144 just to take a look at the damn thing. Ive therefore decided to just buy a new bigger HDD (previously only 80GB) and order the recovery discs from sony and get a local repair shop to install it for me.

As it says above the laptop is a VGN FE21B and on the sony website says it has a 80GB S-ATA hard drive : http://support.vaio.sony.co.uk/specifications/specifications.asp?site=voe_en_GB_cons&c=0&s=VGN-FE&m=2279http://support.vaio.sony.co.uk/specifications/specifications.asp?site=voe_en_GB_cons&c=0&s=VGN-FE&m=2279

Im unsure what HDD will do the job and Sony support said they would not recommend me one. Will either of these 2 fit properly and work?

As you can see its much cheaper to avoid acting through sony this time and hopefully ill be able to upgrad my HD to 250GB for less that Sony charge for even taking a look.

Any help or HD recommendations much appreciate.
