by the way, 
I should probably note that unless you've specified that your computer should 
use your external hard drive for storing temporary files, you shouldn't need to 
do a system clean up on it.  a defragment might be necessary after a long long 
long time but I've never done one and I have my 350GB usb drive for ages now, 
copying files on and off almost every day.

sorry again for the false information.  Serves me right for jumping to 
conclusions.
