you might be better off just getting a bigger internal hd which would be cheaper than an external unless she takes the external with her to download pictures onto other computers tho i doubt she does that.

Here's a link to some external hard drives using USB 2.0:

Like my friend, DDP suggests, internal HD's are cheaper. Do some comparisons and let us know what you think!! We can walk you through setting up an External or an Internal HD, no problem!

Good luck!!

ps: By the way, I have several internal hard drives and one external Maxtor 160GB that I use for all my backups. Just a suggestion.
