Thanks, that's what I was hoping to hear. This is an old system, but still very usable, 1.2 athlon with a gig of memory, I am going to wipe the primary drive and start over as I have been wanting to try yet another distro, and this means I shouldn't even touch that music drive, at least until I settled on a distro.

You should be able to just create one partition on the new drive, move the folder to that partition and then mount it automatically by adding it to fstab. That way you'll have a /music (or whatever you choose to name it) partition appear at the root of your filesystem. Good luck with it. Rob

Had a drive that was failing, it was on a system that was dual boot with a screwed up windows registry. I haven't booted windows on it in two years, so I booted into Linux and transfered everything that was needed to be saved to my samba server. There is one big directory that I want to save on multiple machines (all my ripped cd's, I don't want to have to go through that again) and was wondering about adding a second drive and another home partition on it, or do I have to move the whole home partition?
