The largest "stock" memory card on Toshiba branded computers is 2 Terra Bytes aka 2000 gigabytes.

Toshiba does not specify a maximum size hard drive for this laptop. Based on its age / date of manufacture, it was probably built around the time of the 2.1 GB barrier, and thus is already equipped with the largest possible drive usable under most operating systems.
You can access the hard drive from the bottom of the laptop. If you turn the laptop upside down, you'll find the hard drive door under the Toshiba sticker with the laptop serial number. Remove two screws from the hard drive cover and then remove the cover. Slide the hard drive to the right and remove it. Transfer the hard drive bracket to a new hard drive.
Connect the hard-drive to a computer via the USB port. On the 'host' computer - click on the 'My computer' icon Select the external hard drive from the list of available devices (probably 'E' drive)
