You are right drives now days are not all that expense and nor are they that hard to install, You did answer the question that i think i was trying to ask and that is once i burn a movie to a dvd and delete it if it will free up space or if it will remain on there.. And if i am understanding you right it will free up space,The other is yes i have a file open for sharing but like a lot of other people I am still having a hard time getting full songs to download and getting a full movie.......... but i will get it all figured out and thanks once again for all your help
