Sounds like your ready to break that puppy out of it's case. Be gentle because platter hard drives should be handled like fine wine glasses because they are fragile.
If you man-handle it or drop it on the floor.... it very well may be dead

well the 2TB seagate ( the old external that i want to use as internal drive) i've just about deleted every thing off of that except the movies i want to keep (intent on deleting those to).......but i'vr run in to a bit of a problem.......... earlier i had the old drive (segate) hook up to the PC and the new external drive (WD MyBook) was also connected and then some how(I have no idea or how) but the new drive back up everything on the seaate (I think twice) and now the new drive (3TB)is full and i have no idea if i even want to deal with this ............just about to give up and waste for that 2nd stemless check to come and spend it on getting a computer tech
