Actually,
why not just hook up the 60GB drive as a slave, and use it for data storage? That's pretty much a standard setup, and it wouldn't need an OS on it.

If you're on a recent OS
all you have to do is plug the loose IDE cable from your 10GB drive into the 60GB drive, make sure the pin selection is set to slave, and you're rocking. Windows will autodetect the new drive, and probably label it appropiately. You may want to format it once it's in. Won't take long.

formatting could be a problem, i have about 6 gig of pics and photos
and about 25 gig of music on there i dont want to loose and am too skint to back it all up at the minute, i will bookmark this thread though and try tomorrow.

Oh, formatting's by no means essential,
just thought it might be tidier that way.

It's a 2 minute job in that case.
