I tried to install some games on a Windows 98 pc I just received, but I was told that the computer didn't have enough disk space on the hard drive (C:/) to accomadate the programs. Is there a chance that I can buy some disk space? Do I buy a new drive? Or am I just in need of a new pc? How does this work?

You can't add space to a disk drive. It has a set amount, and no more. You should be able to replace this drive with another, bigger one, though. Depending on your computer, you may also be able to add a 2nd disk drive.
You probably can free up space on this drive, however, if you do a defrag. Google that term to find out the procedure. Otherwise, the best advice I can offer would be to take the computer to a reputable PC service shop in your area and ask them how you can upgrade.

You can buy another hard drive and install pointing to it.
Make sure your games will play on Win98... it's no longer a supported operating system, so new stuff probably won't.
