Need help/Laptop HDD

Hey all.
Wanted to upgrade my laptop hard drive, so bought this off eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180230303965&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=008
However, as it turns out, it was the wrong one :-(. What a waste of money.
Can anyone advise me which HDD I need? My laptop is the following model:
http://www.productreview.com.au/showitem.php?item_id=3387
And I wanted a 160gb+ hard drive.
Looked on eBay again, but will be willing to buy from anywhere - I just want cheap and compatible!
Is this what I'm after...
