The good news is that the new hard drive is fast, cool, and quiet, just like it's supposed to be, and I was able to copy my documents, photos, and videos. The bad news is that my external drive that was behaving weird isn't wanting to give me any more of my data. My music was by far the bulk of my data, and I got very little off of it. I kept having to turn off and turn on the drive to get a little more, and the last time I tried that, it showed up as RAW, not FAT32, so I guess the computer can't even tell it's formatted. It's going to be very hard to replace all of the music. I have CDs of most of it, but for certain artists, I had plenty of tracks that were download-only that weren't official releases. Ouch. I'm leaving the drive off for a while and trying again later, so wish me luck.
