Go to www.dell.com. Select support. Then support, then enter your service tag #. Then select upgrades. If your laptop can upgrade to sata it will say. But laptops aren't known for being expansion friendly.

According to dell's upgrade specs. You can upgrade to sata. I couldn't find a diagram of the board to verify this. But they say you can. If you have any other questions you might get a more specific answer by calling them. 1-800-WWW-DELL
EDIT> You might want to edit out the service #.

your laptop will either have ide or sata, not both & as specs shows you have ide than no sata.

I would go ddp's route. The selection according to dell didn't seem right. I use an external, just be sure to buy a good name brand.

OOOOkaaaaa... Like I said laptops are not that flexible. Try this link, http://www.powerleap.com/. It will diagnose your laptop and tell you what you can max out to. I finally figured out what ddp was referring to. Dell basically just sent me to a default hard drive line up. At the time I was searching, didn't have enough free time to dig deeper. Good luck.
