The typical way to do this is to remove the 8-10gig original drive and replace it.  I wouldn't worry about keeping the original drive around because you don't need it.  Even if you are able to get it to run 2 different drives, it won't be any less work then replacing the stock drive.

I don't think there is a way to remove the drive.  If anyone has done it and documented it, you can find it on the forums section of xbox-scene.com.

here's the information that I could find on the topic.  I don't notice anyone removing the DVD drive but it looks like you can add more HDDs.

Edit: And maybe a mod chip?
