I was planning on poping that drive into a PowerMac, along with my  
current 80Gb Baracuda, and Partitioning the 320 GB drive, and  
Transfering my files to the new drive, then either install the os on  
that partion with the PowerMac, or put it back in my cube an install  
the OS. (I was leaning toward the latter) If i keep the Partitions  
smaller than 120 GB should I be safe?

I will consider an external FW Hard Drive for the old 80 GB drive.
Thanks,
Francois
