This shouldn't have to happen but...my D drive is fine; 150 Gb enough for BF 2, but the C drive isn't(5 GB, I know, sad) which is only 1.3 GB, after deleting evrything on it Windows will let me. Until I get my new computer, I have to settle with this piece of shlt but I'm willing to upgrade the Hard disk. Any suggestions?

40 GB Maxtor 7200 RPM intenral HDD for $46 shipped from NewEgg.com 

Of course, for $47 shipped from NewEgg.com, you could get an 80 GB WD 7200 RPM internal HDD.

Best Buy hard drives start at around $80.

Circuit City has a 160 GB Seagate internal HDD for $49.99 after mail in rebate + TAX.

Basically, it is WAY cheaper to buy online.  Newegg.com is a highly reliable site - ask around.  I've spent literally thousands of dollars there over the last four years, building about 10 different PCs.  I highly recommend them to you.

I'm with Jack. Go to Newegg and buy a drive. It's a lot cheaper. Also, I would recommend getting either a Western Digital or Seagate drive. Those 2 are the only brand i will trust. DO NOT get a Maxtor drive. I had 2 of them a whilst ago, both died within 1 year. My 20GB Western Digital is 5 or so years old now and it still works fine, no bad sectors or anything.

 

edit- DO NOT GET THAT MAXTOR DRIVE! You will regret it once bad sectors start appearing and your drive crashes.  Get the Western Digital drive from Newegg instead.
