Thanks to all of you for your wonderful input. I've decided to just copy and paste the files over there and group them by folder as I'd do with a pcmcia flash card. That way, I can use them on either OS and can also save the stuff from my other machines. It's a 120 gb drive, so I'm sure to have plenty of room for a very long time. I can't believe what I read here earlier. $1,000 just for a hard drive? I wouldn't pay that unless it was a brand new machine! Then again, modern technology isn't really my thing. I just use it cause it's easier.
