I recently purchased a DVD burner, but I haven't got enough HDD space to burn DVD's. So is it possible to get a second HDD and use that, and secondly how do I do that.

Do a search on your favorite search engine for "installing a hard drive" and you will find several sites with instructions.

Well, there are two types of hard drives you could install. An internal or an external hard dirve. I will explain the differences: Internal: Less expensive, relitivly cheap, however, requires you to install it into the computer. Also this includes setting the main drive jumpers to master, and the new, secondary drive jumpers to slave. External:Typically a USB Harddrive is more expensive, much easier to install. The problem here would be, if your computer is old, it may use usb 1.0 so it is important before you buy this type of hard drive is to verify whether your pc uses the older standard usb1.0 or if it can handle the new usb2.0 standard. I hope this helps, let me know if you need any additional advice.
