or just buy a second drive cause there should be another IDE port if it isn't older then a few years there should be a internal sata port or 2 free.
All you would need to do is take the side of the pc off put the drive in one of the bays plug it in then once you turn it on go to my computer and format the new drive then you can start moving things over to the new drive.

external drives are more expensive just because you have to buy the enclosure.
a internal 60gb drive is fairly small as windows will on recognize 52gb or something like that plus the OS itself uses almost 20 gb I believe you can get a smaller drive 100gb or 80 gb for under 50.00
