Hi Christopher,
thanks for the reply.
Picking them up is not a problem, I'll have to check with who is able to
supply to make sure I get what ever is necessary to replace the disks.
Yes there is at least 50Gb free at the top end of the HDD.
It is not an unmovable block as such, they seem to be green on the
defragmenter screen and th emain ones are blue which this block is, only
it seems to be maybe about 10Gb away from the main storage, but the
defrag doesnt seem to want to try and move it down with the rest, so I
guess it will have to stay there.
There will no doubt be lots of questions firing once I have them
installed and playing as my knowledge in that direction is very very low.
I am also a Radio Amateur as you can probably tell by the email address,
and unfortunately I dont think many of the programs I am currently using
run on Linux, so will need the Windows environment to keep them running.
With Open Office, are there seperat versions for Windows and Linux, I
know it will run in both, but just need to know if I need to dowload
another copy for use in Linux.
Thanks for all the help so far
Alan Hughes
