lol...yes, that certainly will solve that particular problem...

as a note external drives are substandard to those directly connected to your MoBo...USB are real bad...though firewire has a transfer rate good enough to get by when using for pro audio recording...i.e. I would use the external as storage and move files there once completed and verified...

also, it would be a good idea to run chkdsk on that drive even though you just reformatted it...and I hope you formatted it to NTFS....
