Cant find the computer page.
Ive got 2x 250 GB Hard drives both 16mb.
If I sell one and buy a 1TB with 32mb will be ok running together? Or cant you do it?

It can be done, although to get the best from it you may need some help to set it up. I say this based only on how you described the drives above. The new drive will be faster so it should be set as your active primary partition and your OS transferred over to it.
If you are running a RAID array then there could be additional complications. The most notable being that you will not actually be able to access any additional space by changing out only one HDD.
