How do I upgrade the hd on my computer to a hd larger than 160gb. I'm looking at getting a HD thats 160gb, but on the box it says if your using win me you need to download a win 2000 patch 3 but I have'nt been able to find it. Can I partition it to where me can see the HD?

The hard drive manufacturers have programs on their web sites to help you to
install and setup new drives. Check the appropriate web site.

Win Me and Win 2000 are two entirely different operating system. DO NOT try
and install Win 2000 SP3 on a Win Me system.
