Hi,

I am not a laptop user so please bear with me when I ask this question: Is
it possible to install two hard drives internally into a Dell Inspiron 8200
laptop. It seems like there would not be room for two hard drives that are
internal.

The Inspiron 8000 can accept a 2nd hard drive module in the module
slot (replacing whatever is usually there: floppy/cd/battery).

Yes you can!!

The 2nd Drive fits in the Media Bay. This is the location that holds the
Floppy Drive!

Would I need a 2nd Hard Drive Media Bay Carrier from Dell (4169D) or could I use the removable floppy drive carrier instead and fit (fiddle) a 2 ½" drive in there. What about the connections and the interface. Any help would be appreciated.
