I would liek to say that I went out last week-end and purchaseda 160gb Western Digital HDD and it work excellent. Thanks for all the great advice.
I also learned the difference between an external HDD used for desktops and those that are used for porting data with you. The difference being that the portable ones require only one connection, a USB port. The ones ment for HD backup require both the USB and an electrical connection.
