[shopdog]

Thank you for the help.

I've gave the wrong model number (the correct part number is 14R9462, 
model HDS722512VLSA80).  However, I have located information on 
Hitachi's website, and it seems that because this is a Serial-ATA 
(SATA) drive, it does not have jumpers and operates without them.

Can anyone please confirm that this drive will work in my Sawtooth 
model, as a replacement for the original 20GB drive?

Any help will be appreciated.
