No your R40 uses an ATA drive which is not the same as a serial ATA. A Parrallel ATA or (PATA) drive is what you need. And because your system was around when 40, 60, and 80gb hard drives were the largest ones, there might be some minor issues with size limitation (as in the laptop may only recognize up to 40, 60, or 80 gb)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It might, but you should probably check the original hard drive specs for your R40 to make sure it will support the interface. With an older machine like that, you can also run into issues if the R40 can understand the larger capacity of the new drive.
