Ok Thanks for your help. I moved all the old pictures and files I needed off it and I am formatting it now. Will I be able to use it for storing program files or just picture and documents?

I have two storage devices and when i know i have a big program i install it on my secondary HDD, its as easy as changing the install location during Setup. You may want to create a seperate folder called "programs" or even partition the HDD into two halves to keep your files in order.
