The external upgrade may be a bit more cumbersome than changing out an internal drive but a lot less expensive and easier accomplished.

If your internal drive has completely given up the ghost you will have to either replace it or find some other way to boot the laptop. If you re lucky you may be able to burn on a CD-R a bootable version of the operating system and make a change to your BIOS setup so that the laptop looks for the boot information from the CD.
