I was thinking about my disk space. I dont have much... How do you get more? Where do you buy it? How much is it usually?

you buy a bigger hd and connect it. I guess the current price for a gig of space is about 0.8-1 $

Eh, that's WAY expensive, max. You shouldn't be paying much more than 30 cents a gig.

Anyway Helmet, is this a serious question? o_O If so, do you have any SATA ports or just IDE? How many free of each do you have?

Tryin using disk cleanup or get system mechanic to remove crap you don't need.

back up any infor you need (saved docs, music, video, whatever) and but a new hard drive. SATA if your board supports it (looks kinda like a USB plug as opposed to the long wide IDE cables). Install the new drive, and re-install your system. Depending on how long you've been running on this install of windows, you'll probably notice an increase in speed from a fresh install of Windows as well.

They are types of hard drive interfaces. If you're unsure of that answer, are you sure you should be installing a new hard drive? Without deleting information you already have on the drive, there's no way to get more disk space.

I recommend searching for the terms you do not understand.

Go to Start>controlpanel>add/remove programs.
remove anything u dont need from that list.
just click change/remove and choose the remove option if necessary.
also: Start>all programs>accessories>system tools>disk cleanup
check tempoary internet files, offline webpages, recycle bin and tempoary files.
then just hit ok and let it run. it may tell u to reboot after just do so if needed.

it might help to go through my documents and delete any downloaded programs or files you dont need anymore. Or just burn every thing in my documents to cds or dvds. then u can wipe that clean(as long as u dont have any programs installed there).
