Bonnie,
 There is indeed a place for a disk drive, you remove the cd/dvd drive and
insert a disk drive in it's place.
If you require a disk drive a search  by make and model number of the laptop
should return results.
HTH,
Hal Seabolt

Subject: [PCBUILD] Floppy Drive A

Here is an oddity on a laptop:    My desktop XP has NO floppy drive A:
It also does NOT LIST an A: drive on the My Computer.

The LAPTOP(Toshiba Tecra 8100 Windows2000) on the other hand HAS NO Floppy
drive A:, BUT it does LIST one when I click on My Computer.  WHY would it
LIST one if there is no PLACE for one?

Thanks again,

Bonnie  Stanfield
