Currently I have an 80gb hard drive on my PC whihc is partioned into 3 parts (BOOT 39gb / BACKUP 31.5gb / RECOVER 4gb)
Boot contains all my main files and prograsm etc., backup contains backups to my important files and recover is well recovery :P
I wanted to know a couple of things:
I want to put another hard drive into my PC, but ive never done so before. I was thinking about getting a 160gb hard drive.
Firstly does it matter what type of hard drvie I get for my PC, and if it does is there anyway I can find out what type I need?
I was looking at this one:

is it any good?
Once I have a new hard drive in my PC how difficult is it to set up? Im running Windows XP home, will it just detect all the new hardware automatically and promt me if I need to do anything?
The new hard drive will be used for storing video files and editing them that have been recorded off a digital camera (they use a lot of room), and so I will move my current video files from my current hard drvie to my new one and leave my old hard drive as the main drive for storing programs etc. so this should free up my other hard drive considerably so I have the majority of it spare. So the new hard drvie will be effectively be just a storage for video files and no programs or anything else will be stored on it.
Can someone offer help and advice,
Thanks,
