I'm thinking of purchasing an external hard drive to keep all my music on. I was looking online to get an Idea of price when I discovered a Seagate FreeAgent Go Portable Hard Drive (black, 500GB) at Wal-mart listed online for $67.82 which is a price I'd let myself spend right now, however being that cheap I'm questioning the quality. So I'm wondering if anyone has purchased one of these and what your review is of the product?

I have five(5) "Seagate" external HD's. One is a "GO". It does NOT have a wall-adapter power supply. It gets it's power through the USB connector. Sometimes it is a little "picky", as to which USB port I use. It likes the rear connectors best. BUT, it's really GREAT !!!

Answer
You have a couple of options that'll do the trick:
1. If you have 80 gb of free space on your internal hard drive, then you could move all of the data from your external hard drive partitions onto your internal drive.
Then you could use the fdisk command to remove the partitions from your external drive and create a single 80gb partition, and then copy the data back from your internal drive to the external drive.
Be sure to make a backup first though - it's easy to make a fatal mistake with the fdisk command and accidentally format the wrong hard drive (speaking from painful personal experience).
2. Purchase a partition management program like Partition Commander or Disk Director. Both are reputable programs that'll let you move or delete partitions without losing your data (see links below for reviews on both of these programs).
This last approach is a lot easier route to go, and money well spent.
