Quick (MUCH more specific) Photoshop question

You need to open up the case and look for IDE0 and IDE1, easily identified with a long grey ribbon cable. For each IDE channel, you can have 2 IDE devices for a total of 4 IDE devices. Check each cable to see if there is anything attached to it. If there is only one HD attached to IDE0, you can install a new HD on it. Based on the age of your pc, I assume that you have a DVDROM. That should be attached to IDE1. Reason being because dvd/cdroms has a slower access rate and an IDE channel works on the slowest IDE device. That's why you should never put a CDROM with a HD. It will slow down the access speed for the HD.

Edit: If you have firewire(IEEE1394), you can have an external HD.
