Mmmm New Hard Drive

I got a new hard drive for my server 2 days ago. A brand new Western Digital 160GB (with 8MB cache) monster.

I shifted my drives around inside, and turned the server back on, and there was the new drive... totally empty. *drool* All that space!

It's all for my music though, nothing else ;)

Formatting that bitch took forever, almost half a day!! But as soon as it was done, I could start moving over 10 thousand music files onto it from the old MP3 drive.

Once that's done I've got to move everything from my Users partition onto the old MP3 drive, then work out the best way to delete said partition and expand the System partition into the newly freed space giving Windows the full 20GB drive instead of being crammed into only 10GB.

I've already moved over 20GB as I'm writing this, and I'm working through the remaining 30GB. Sure takes a while to move that much data around!

It'll be nice to have some free space for my data, my brother filled up Users the other day copying Viva La Bam episodes to it. You think 60GB is enough? ;)
