how do i find out if i have an extra bay for another hardrive and what type of hardrive would be compatable with my pc
 
look inside, and see:
is there space?
do you have IDE space?

also i cant tell whats compatible if you dont put your specs up
 
athlon xp 3000+
Gigabyte GA-7n400-L motherboard
512 ddr ram

im a really a n00b so i dont know what IDE is but i do see a space under my current hd
 
ok, so you have somewhere to mount it at least, the cable that connect your current hard disk to your motherboard, does it have any other items connected?

the cable that connectd the hard disk, CD-ROM ect, is an IDE cable, its the fat ribbon one. unless you got the rounded ones
 
so unless it's got one connector on the ribbon, you should be able to put another hard drive. Trace the hard drive cable and check for another connector like what is plugged into your current hard drive.
 
i just tracked the IDE cable to where its connected to the motherboard. all of the IDE slots on the motherboard are taken up. would it still be possible to add hd?
