As much as you like. Depending on your operating system and BIOS, your machine may not recognize a partition larger than 137 GB, but that's easily fixed in software.

I see that your Compaq accepts SATA hard drives. You can get a 500 GB SATA drive for $90.

I'll show you.

For example, if your hard drive was 250gigabytes you could use this much.

Usually a bad idea to do so.

Eh, I'll come over there.

The reason its full is I was downloading stuff, and didn't realize, because I was downloading large files, so I went to play a game on HL2DM and I had to download a map for it, it said map not found disconnecting so I looked at my HDD and I had 400 or so kilobytes left, so I tried to uninstall and that filled up the rest of my space so I Shift + Deleted a few things.

Prince! Do you use a swap file or system restore!
