[QUOTE="angel_07030, post: 128086, member: 17861"] Actually, you managed to figure it out for me Noelix. ;) Thanks. And, I've actually been using MP for over a year. (I just don't post much unless I'm really stumped. lol...) I think setting up a RAID system now would probably drive me insane. First, I'd have to back up the first 250GB drive. And I don't really have 60 DVD's to do that right now. lol... But, all this gives me insight into a future build of a second machine, or an upgrade to my current HTPC later down the line. I'm actually on my third tear down and rebuild of my HTPC. I think the current is going to stay the way it is for a while. I'm organizing my media across the two drives now.
