Any caveats?<br />

Must my second hard drive be an exact match with regards to SIZE. I have a 12 gig 7200 rpm, but on IBM's site, my drive has been replaced with a 14 gig and a 16 gig? I know on the bios setup page it lists my drive's part number, which is for a 12 gig hard drive.

It depends on the BIOS. &nbsp;If it can be setup to Auto-Detect the hard disk at boot, then there shouldn't be a problem.

one thing tho<br />
<br />
Modern harddisks runs HOT, and unless the casing has a fan, you might very well fry your harddisk.

At a previous job, I had an IMB PC mini-tower. This machine had a removable hard-drive bay. It allowed myself to boot from two different hard-drives(namely OS/2 and WINNT). The hard-drives were enclosed in a plastic cover with a 'parallel' port on the end.<br />
<br />
Currently, I have a Dell System. It has an empty 5.25 drive bay. Does anyone know of any kits that would allow for this type of set-up? I've actually called IBM, but stopped after receiving circular phone-numbers. They have no-idea of this type of set-up.<br />
