The same driver for all three drive types is R237954.exe Kept researching for more info on this, and found that the available hard drive drivers under the driver downloads section from Dell for the Latitude D420 include drivers for 40G, 60G, and 80G To verify that the laptop can handle other drive types like the one you are attempting to use, you might want to email Dell support possibly.
