My primary HDD is 80 GB and is 85% full.

My secondary HDd (that I took out of my OLD computer) is 60 GB and is 30% full.

All pics, video, and audio files are on the secondary HDD; and the bulk of what's on my primary HDD are programs.

What should I do?

Buy a new bigger primary HDD? And if so, how do I transfer everything darn thing from the 80 GB HDD to the new HDD?

Many of my programs didn't come with CDs but were installed via the Internet.

Thanks.
 
*nods* a bigger HD is probably the way to go. Many come with programs to copy your stuff from one drive to another, but there's also free software around.
 
I agree with The Other One...you should prob get a new hard drive. As for transferring everything, You could either just leave it as a secondary, or you could use a program, or you could just do "copy" "paste." that's my method :P. Make sure though, if you're getting a new hard drive, that it's good. Lol, that was pretty vague. If you're going to use it as your primary drive, i'd say get one that's 10k rpm, if you can afford it. you should also make sure you get one with 16mb cache and, and of course, if your mobo supports it, sata (pref. sata2).
