Need suggestions!!?

My hardrive is getting smaller shoud i buy an external hardrive and if i do can i install programs contained by it so my regular hardrive regains that space?

Need suggestions!!?

I wouldn't recommend it. Buy a strictly large IDE drive (160-300Gb).

If you shut down and unplug you workstation, open it on a desk or approaching. Discharge yourself on something else metal. Now look at the ribbon cable (flat wide cable), in that should be a connection to your cd/dvd and your rugged drive. Insert your new drive (you can see where on earth it will fit) and connect the cable it came beside to the IDE2 socket on the motherboard (next to the other one). When you boot your pc, it should detect the up to date drive. Now you can put anything you want on it. A little more work than an external drive but well worth it. If you want, you could use a phantom program to transfer your os to the alien hd. Look at Norton Ghost )www.symantec.com)
Depending on your computer knowledge, External is a hell of profoundly easier to install (plug it in and go) where on earth as internal is a lot neater.



If you get one, then yes you can install adjectives your apps on it and conserve space on your existing HDD
If the hard drive get too small, you'll have to bring a smaller motherboard and case/power supply! Buy a system that doesn't shrink!
