Make life easier, just use an external hard drive. And do not keep on removing and reattaching the notebook's drive.

If you laptop's hard drive is in a "tray", then you can easily swap them out. Most Dell laptops do this -- you can order an extra hdd tray/caddy from them.
I don't suggest using a hack method with IDE cables. Protect your data from accidental damage.
The most elegant solution is to get a bigger hdd (250GB avail. now) and dual-boot your system. Or you can use Virtual PC.
