You need to start with capacity planning. Here are the concepts:

Francisco,
Disk is cheap, I would get at least a 100 gig mirrored set of high-quality disks.
You want to see how much free space exists within each tablespace, and you query the dba_free_space view for this.
Once you attach the new disk, use the "alter tablespace xxx add datafile xxx" syntax to extend the tablespaces (unless it's using ASM, of course).
