Hmmm, how can you "write off the end of the drive?" so to speak. I have always gotten a warning that the partition or drive was close to being full or was full and it would not transfer data at that point.
Partition magic is also very good for working with drives.
Dan, I really, really, really hope that you are not using a single drive to store all of your digital stuff?
Please go to a good computer store and get at least a USB drive to plug in and make a backup of everything digital. I use my old computer that is networked to the current desktop, AND 3 USB drives for photos, movies, music and documents. I then also backup the important stuff that I need right now on the laptop as well. That way its stored on at least 3 separate sources and I am not going to lose all 3 at one time. 500 gig USB drives are going for about $110 these days at Fry's electronics and a good way to keep things saved.
