harddrive question

I have no problem with my hard drive, but I was wondering could I upgrade it with a bigger one. I have a Compaq Presario 6301rsh desktop with a 40GB Ultra DMA hard drive.

 

Since you have an older PC, my advice would be to add an external hard drive for file storage.

Although you could install a larger one in the PC, you would also have to "clone" (transfer) the Windows OS and any programs installed onto it. You can find 500GB external drives for around $59. When you eventually buy a new PC, just plug the external drive with all your files into it and you'll be ready to go with no hassles.

 

So the external hard drive connects to the pc using a usb port?

 

Yes.
