Assuming it's about a TP, he would need an appropriate docking station. 
Assuming he would find one (which is not likely at all), he certainly 
wouldn't find a new 5.1 giga disk. Assuming he finds a second hand one 
(absolutely not recommendable for it would be far too old), to stitch 
the whole lot togheter would requiere some brain activity, which seems 
to be an unfair requiement.

It would already hard enough to find at a reliable seller a second hand 
HD fitting to the bios.

So, the 1st (yet not asked) question should be: what is the max HD size 
the bios can accept?
And the second: are HD fitting to that bios still sold?
