The M1710 doesnt have two hard drive bays afaik.

You could just buy a large external drive. They're not very expensive these days.

Or, you can replace the hard-drive thats in it with a bigger one (320Gb 2.5" satas are commonly available, bigger ones shortly). After you remove the old one, you can still continue to use it, via a USB external enclosure.
