Can.
Did. :-)
Mine was a Toshiba T1950CT (486DX2/40) with only 8M. Took a while to work
out how to dismantle it (though newer ones are easier), and needed an
adapter to fit the 2.5" disk in the desktop, but other than that it was
fine. Oh, I did get slightly confused with how to deal with the PCMCIA
stuff, but I think I was thinking too much rather than just doing what
should have been obvious - don't uninstall it, and reconfigure it once
the disk is back in the notebook.
This was all some years ago, with potato, so your milage and my memory
may vary :-)
