You can report back to us on what you find Teo
The standard 4200rpm drive will be slow

One post said they thought you needed to clip the pins, but that was a long time ago and those posters were not up to the standards that we set today

Ok! I installed a 40gb hdd on it without clipping any pin. The result is no go, not recognized on the bios. I bended pin 41 and 44 still no go. Anybody?

I still remember on NBR a year ago that there are pin to clip. I forgot which pin while I am the one who done it on CF-W2 by an adviced from Tough 2 go and I can't find it no more.
