718669 2008-11-08 09:04:00 You should have formatted / partitioned the other hdd's BEFORE you put anything on them

Because you'll probably have to use a 3rd party program to resize them

I would partition the 500 GB. Because if it gets hit by a trojan or something, say byebye to all of it

Yeah I'll definitely be formatting the other drives before I actually use them again. They are a fair few years old now, but still stable ^^.

Am too thinking of partitioning up the 500GB, though it does save a bit more space if I leave as 1 partition. But like you said, if something happens...><

718670 2008-11-08 17:57:00 What a fool I've been. Just realised that I had ISOs (within the new HDD) mounted to virtual drives. Hence window refused to change the drive letter. Should have known better ><

Alright guys highly appreciated for all your help and time. Thank you all again :)
