Drive dimensions (was dual boot)

You should contact Dell about this. All 3.5 inch hard drives have the same
holes in them. This is a single industry standard. But (and this is a
kicker) a 3.5 inch floppy has fewer (and thus different) holes. I suspect
reasons start with the fact that a floppy drive normally sticks out
further. In fact to place holes in the same places would place a hole in
part of the trim.

You may be able to solve the problem by simply ordering the right
slides. Thinking of the way the delss are assembled it should work. Funny
thing is that just yesterday I was working on a system where I could have
checked this.
