Just patch your OS and fill up drive with nonimportant files to its full
capacity. Then check if there is any corruption. If none, then you should
be
fine.

That is a good idea, thanks. I think, if for anything else just a little
re-assurance, I will do just that before start putting the drive together
"for real".

PartitionMagic 8, running from a different HDD, is already whining about the
few ext3fs partitions that I put on the 250GB HDD. Not sure why, as they
are below 137GB, but... My "gut feeling" is that PM8 won't whine when I
clean the whole slate and try a FAT32 and/or NTFS below 137GB though. I
have no reason to believe that other than a "gut feeling" though. From
there, I'll make the parts past 137GB and start filling 'em up to see what
happens..

Trial and error, aint this so much fun. :-)
