Re: advice on Buyin a HD.
For example,
right now Fry's has this one, and thought it's not 200, the price seems very nice.
But how do I know if my PC will take it?

Re: advice on Buyin a HD.
look at how the hd you have now is connected to the motherboard. If it's with a big flat cable (like your cd/dvd drive) then you'd want an IDE hd. If it's a smaller cable like this then that then you'd want a SATA hd. Other then that, you should be good.

EDIT: That link isn't a combo deal anymore. It was 500GB + 250GB for $209
It is still 500GB for $209 though.
Re: advice on Buyin a HD.
Your idea is a good one. I use a 120Gb drive for my O/S and apps and is more then I really need. Meanwhile I have a 300Gb drive for all my media.
Add your new HD, reboot, open "my computer", right click the new drive and select "format." Then you're ready to go.

It might need to have at least one partition created. Right click on 'My Computer' and select 'Manage' then click 'Disk Management'.
