    I'm pretty sure the HD is not limited, and it shouldn't be hard. Check the Dell forums for installation guides. Also, give Dell a call about the HD limits.

    As for express cards, the b130 uses PCMCIA if i recall correctly.

    I was under the impression that switching out the HDD voided your warranty. I'm not positive, but if I were you, I'd check with the Dell forums before you call and give Dell that kind of info.
