So I'm down to 671 MB of disk space. I think I remember someone telling me about being purchase disk space at Best Buy or something like that? If so, can someone verify that? If not, what other options do I have? As in where would I go, how much it would cost, etc. Please explain in full detail, I'm computer-illiterate. Thanks!

loving you . . . starlette*

yes, if you want more space, purchase a Hard Disk Drive.

a HDD that stores around 200GB should be good value for money, if they ask what type you want, just get IDE (also known as PATA). you'll need to put it inside your computer case and plug in the data and power cables, but there is only one way to put those in so you can't go wrong... windows should be able to detect it no matter how you put it in.

if you don't want to buy a new one, the other option is to delete large files that you don't want any more

Yes you need an extra harddrive. Or you can just burn the stuff off onto CD-R's/DVD-R's

btw.....

is there a way to like.. make vid files into data files so more can fit onto a 700mb disk?

`cause only one (for example) x-man show can fit onto one disk.. is there a way to fit more than that?

..or is that a totally different thread?

You can recompress it and make it lower quality and all that but you have to waste time converting it and the end product doesnt look as nice.... You seriously dont like the idea of a dVD burner? Because 4.6gb can store several xmen...
