If you have an open bay you could put in another internal, if not you could just get an external that connects through firewire or usb.

^that means you need to reinstall your sound card drivers, if you built your computer you may have the cd that came with the sound card, if you dont have the cd or did not build your computer go to the computer companys website and download the sound drivers from them

you can add as many harddrives and your powersupply and bay's support. if your gona get another harddrive make sure it's at least 7200 rpm and 8mb cache

It's a good idea to have the latest drivers anyways, so instead of getting them off of a cd, get the from the manufacturer's website.
