So you had a large empty space that was unpartitioned? If not, then
you didn't just add... you did a massive data move

That is a mind-bogglingly bad idea. The whole point of Time Machine is

I wonder why a simpler method would not work. That is, leave the 750

Is it an option to partition free space on an external firewire
drive, using OSX 10.5's Disk Utility, without losing a current
partition(s) structure and/or data on the same harddrive? Maybe only
decrease the original partitions size, without losing any original
data and accessibility?
