I have another empty hard disk in the same computer.
I'm already in the process of downloading the ISO's
into the NTFS partition. Can I formate the empty disk
into FAT or linux partition, then tranfer the ISO
files from the NTFS partition into the empty disk
which will be the FAT or linux partition?
