    Ever heard of partitions?

    aww man, i should have partitioned my 160GB . Gosh darn
    What if i buy a 320GB and make a 30GB partition for windows, and then reinstall windows on that. Can i delete my old windows install, without loosing any files that aren't stored in my documents/windows created folders?

    Just install and run partition magic it will let you partition the hard drive without losing any data.
