    eh i think im gonna by myself a new harddrive, internal.

    http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4008610&CatId=2676

    does that sound good for the price? and would it be compatible with my laptop (specs below in signature) because most new computers are 2.5 sata

    but once i install this how would i get vista home premium from my old harddrive on the new one? i dont want any data i just wanna do a clean install like i did when i first turned on my laptop

    Your computer should be good and that will be a nice upgrade for your system. To confirm go to device manager and check out the model of the hard drive then Google it to see if it runs off of SATA.

    Seriously though I think you should get cleaners for the keyboard and screen and such. Wireless mouse would be cool.OR
