okay you first need to format your drive erasing everything off of it. Then restore it from a CD. I would recommend using a program like Symantec Live State Recovery and make a base backup of it after you have say your basic progs installed or things you're always going to want. It will basically make an image of your HD and you will be able to backup from that.

Anything you could do with a 256 mb hard drive.  Store files, use it for backup, whatever.  Just plug it in and it will appear on "my computer" as a removeable disk.  Just be careful to not unplug it when it's reading or writing data.  Most of them will have a light that will flash when it's being accessed.

Start by looking in your Documents, Movies, Pictures, and Desktop folders for old, large files that you know you don't need any more. You can through those out but you might want back them up first. \n\nAdding RAM won't help with your hard drive, but a second hard drive would probably be a good idea. Just make sure it's a Firewire drive and it should show up when you plug it in. You can format it HFS+ if it isn't already by using Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities) and then move files to it. That should free up plenty of space. \n\nDepending on your needs, it may be time to consider getting a Macbook. They're lots more powerful, and they've got larger hard drives. The smallest one is now 60GB.

You'll need to boot to something other than that hard drive - such as a windows CD, a Win98 boot floopy (google it) or a Linux CD.  You can then format the hard drive, which will erase the entire contents of it.\n\nYou can also put the hard drive in another computer and format it that way.

Most likely you can remove the actual hard drive that's contained in it and connect it directly to the inside of your computer, depending on your computer model and configuration.

reformat your hard drive, or just get a new, larger hard drive (the second is the best)\n\nyou can do a web search on line on how to do this if you don't know, print off all the instructions before you start to work though lol and know you will loose all the info on your current drive so if you have any photos or documents or anything you want to save be sure to back them up on a floppy or CD or something.

delete stuff you dont use. goto the control panel then add/remove programs and delete what you dont use. also try backing up pics and music on a dvd disc. also you can get another hard drive(turn it into a slave drive). goto newegg.com you can get a 200gb hdd for $100 or so

nope,your old computer is already obsolete, maybe u can use th HD with the only purpose of recover ur old data but probably will void the warranty in ur  new PC... just format ur old computer and donate it to a kid for homeworks, that  will make u feel better...
