I can bring in a portable HDD to back up on to at a meeting, I have a
couple, if necessary I can clear one off and have 160GB free, of course
that much would take quite some time to move. Personally speak I get
very nervous around other people data when doing things like resizing
partitions and installing OS's and really wouldn't want to touch it
without a backup.

The next monthly meeting in Holsworthy is June 19th thats a bit of a
wait I'm afraid. Hartland is a bit far for me to be able to pop out and
give a hand sooner unfortunately.
