OK, the gears are still turning and we are now down to 50% / 112GB so it definately appears to be working I also can definately hear the hard drive working so, I don't think there is anything wrong; I just gave it a lot to eat; a workout for sure.

I think I'm using this thing like it should be and with the size drive that should be sold with it (for 1500bucks anyway) so, if all is well maybe you guys will consider a larger drive? 40GB to me is worthless. I'll admit I'm 36 and have collected my fair share of CD's over the years but having more space gives me an incentive to buy more cd's (the record companies would like to hear that).
