[QUOTE="AVSA Andrew, post: 983591, member: 396"] I have a 1TB portable that I just need to check for vital stuff and then reformat for future use. The current desktop has two HDDs in it - one original and then a separate one I use to store movies on. I've a sneaky suspicion my Mede8er's HDD might be going - more and more often makes a very unsettling vibrating noise on start-up. Might be nothing, but don't really want to risk losing all those movies. Will take it out of MEde8er, plug into one of the desktop's free sata ports and run a few diagnostic tests on it to see if anything pops up. If i shows something dodgy happening then I'll do a spring clean of the movies I have on it, transfer the ones I really want to keep onto the other drive along with other more recent movies I have, then put that back into the Mede8er. Then as you say, keep the portable to keep specific stuff on. [/QUOTE]
