Maybe... FWIW, the day after Thanksgiving, BestBuy had a 250GB drive for $80 after $100 rebate. Even if you can't find a deal that good, your time is worth money, and if financially possible, even $50 will get you a nice large hard drive these days and you can completely segregate Windows onto another drive if you want. (Then again, I bought the drive basically on principle because it was such a good deal, then I ended up buying a new desktop to put it in, so you never know where these things will lead... but fortunately for me it led me to finally have a 100% FreeBSD box) Sounds like you've since got it working, glad to hear it.
