I have my 8200 sitting in front of me. Go into the BIOS and on page 4 you should be able to choose between the trackpad and the stick. Otherwise (as long as you have the Dell mouse Driver software installed) go to Start --> Control Panel --> and I think it is under either Buttons or (Pointer) Options from there you will see a little diagram of your keyboard where you can enable or disable the two different mice.

It is doable. PM if you need more help. My problem is that I have a 3rd party mouse installed and that installs itself over the Dell mouse driver ;-(
