well....a drive is a drive pretty much..it can be transferred to a new machine...the only issue here is that obviously (to me) the only type of drive you can presently use is an EIDE type, as SATA drives (the current 'standard') were not around when your machine was built...correction...you can use a SATA drive but you would have to buy a PCI expansion card to do so, and you wouldn't be able to boot off of that drive...but even the most up to date MotherBoards (MoBo) still have at least one EIDE port, which allows for the use of 2 devices connected to it, so you would still be able to use the drive on another system if you desire to in the near future...
other than that, your only choice is to start deleting files and/or burning them to a disc first for backup...e.g. the only way to increase your ability to store data is to get rid of some of the existent stuff on your machine
