One last question I do have though, is why does my second hard drive show as having 69.6 GB out of 73.4 GB (6% used), while my primary drive shows 71.7 GB out of 73.6 GB (3% used) free disk space? The second drive only has about 60 odd MBs of info on it at present. Is it something to do with the filesystems used? As I have said, the second drive is currently formatted ext2, while the primary drive is resierfs I believe.
You can always change an existing file system from ext2 to ext3. Rather than
post the details, here is a URL that explains it:

A couple of caveats. You cannot convert an already mounted file system, so
if the file system cannot be unmounted, just boot a standalone system, such
as the SuSE install Cd, and boot into rescue, or any other Linux standalone
boot. Also, do not forget to make the appropriate changes in the fstab.
