As an aside -- I run my 8300HD with an external sata drive that

Interesting. Did you just hook it up and go or was there any setup?
Did you have programs on the internal drive before hooking up the new
one and were they fine after the process?

I just hooked it up, the system prompted me to format Y/N, and off I
went. Yes, I had programs on the original drive and they were
unaffected, at least in my case. In my research looking for pitfalls
on expanding the drive capacity, I ran into quite a few posts
claiming all kinds of problems when attaching drives -- so, YMMV. I
haven't tried to verify this yet but it's my understanding that if I
were to unplug the drive and then re-attach it the system would again
prompt to format the drive -- apparently there is no way around this
little quirk.
Just to be safe I burned all my recorded wood turning shows to DVD
before I attached the drive.
