    I wanted to know if I could add a second HD to my Inspiron. I would check, but am running a few programs on it. I'd rather not use an external HD, but if there isn't space inside I believe that's what I'm going to have to do.

    Unless there were options to configure the 5100 with dual drives during the order process, you aren't going to be able to do that.

    And as far as I know, no laptop less than 17" in size can have dual drives.
