The quickest and easiest way to get more storage space is to purchase an external hard drive that connects via USB. All you do is plug in the drive to the USB port and you have instant storage. You can easily find one at a Best Buy, Circuit City, Wal-Mart?, or at an online store such as www.newegg.com. Another, more permanent, option is to purchase an internal hard drive via the same methods listed above. Just make sure it is not a "Serial ATA" or "SCSI" drive.

If you want to clean up your existing hard drive, you can use some of the programs found here: www.snapfiles.com/freeware/system/fwdiskclean.html

Hope this is what you were looking for!

Hey, make more exact! What do you want, you have 23 Gb free space, it means that you want increase partition till 40Gb by merge two partitions? Or you just want to add new HDD?

if you format the USB External as FAT32, you can plug it into multiple systems
with various OS and Filesystems, eg: Mac, Linux, and Win98/se (which will
not support NTFS). Reports elsewhere complain that XP really fouls up
partition tables and formatting, so be sure to use something like
Partition Magic, or format it on a non-XP system first.
