   Thanks to all for replies.   
      
   Guess this coming week-end will be spent making a back-up (to a 500GB   
   drive I've got laying around (Hmmmm, could be a good time to make this   
   drive my primary drive and make the current 250GB drive the back-up))   
   and then having a play!!   
      
   Will report back results!!
