Phyllis, it's not easy! :D Way back when I did this, I was advised that this was the way to go. However, when I get it all cleaned up I will also have only C & D drives--no partitions!
Hey, when I bought my HD they were having a combo sale if I bought the drive and, what looked like an external box to house it in. Would that be right? Can you buy a little box to house your internal drive, making it an external drive? I didn't look at it too closely since I plan to use my drive internally. But now I'm thinking it might be an option for the extra drive I'm going to have. Hmmm.
