As long as they are both standard laptop hdd's then you won't have an issue, they are for the most part universal.

What do you mean? Sorry i dont know much about these things

Basically all hard drives use the same connectors to save time and money with different company's having their own connector, so basically it's one connector type for every hard drive. Basically yes you can use that hard drive it will work

Planning to have it switched. Ill give it to a technician. So i wont have any problems? And nice thank you very much! By the way,laptop(travelmate) to netbook(aspire one) i wont have any problems with the size of the hds?

Standard HDD'S are normally SATA connections.

If you look on the back of the HDD there should be two connections like the picture listed below

if they are both like this - http://prntscr.com/2f6rwe Then they are sata and they will work.

If one is like this - http://prntscr.com/2f6s75 they are ide

If they are different from each other like one is sata and one is ide then they wont work but if its the same like sata and sata it should work

They will both be of standard size, you'll be fine and swap over should be painless
