I investigated alternate hard disks for my T3100SX, and found that it
uses a JVC disk.  JVC sells only to OEMs, not to end users, so you
can't do this upgrade yourself.  And the BIOS won't configure to handle
a reasonable heads/cylinders/sectors set.

I'd guess the same is true of the T5200.  If you don't feel like
opening the box to see what disk it has, call Toshiba technical support
at (800) 456-8649 and ask.
