yeah....as noted in the other thread you need another drive..that thing is puny!

you can get a 160GB Western Digital (my preferred brand) EIDE drive (which will work perfectly on your machine) for $84 at a local big name retailer or go online and get the same thing for $49 for an OEM version or $59 for the retail version (which includes cable and software...not necessarily needed assuming your current IDE ribbon is 80 wire)....

since you are complaining about disc space you NEED a larger drive, and why not 'splurge', get one, and create a dual boot system as I describe above...and yes, you can create a dual boot machine with 2 installs of the same OS using the same serial#, which in your case would obviously be XP since you are presently happy with it....if you choose this route, please advise and I will give you instructions as to how I would proceed with the project...
