Look at the Toshiba user manual. Some laptops do not have a provision for changing the hard drive type or capacity. Check the BIOS and see if there is a drive selection page.

You should be able to download the book in PDF from Toshiba.

The determining size (form factor) of a hard drive is its width. Most laptops use 2.5" drives, most desktops 3.5" drives.
