Yes it is.  I am not that stupid.  It is small, because it is saved just for 
OS business.  The second partition is larger and is for storage.  On my 200gb 
HDD there are 4 partitions, Primary, swap, /media/sda5 and /media/sda7.

On my smaller Hard Drive 80gb,  there are three partitions Primary, swap, 
and /media/sdb5.

/sda5 not only is being used, it has probably more than 40gb of data in it.

This is my most embarrassing problem.  I cannot remember even doing what you 
are talking about.  I am sure I did, because you said so, however, the only 
memories that I am able to retain are the things that are current and 
repetitive.  If you repeat the command, I will run it; it should tell my HDD 
info accurately.

I don't know what files you are talking about to move into my /home/steven 
directory, however, like you said, my primary drive has about 15gb of space; 
there are over 200gb of data in storage.

I am not familiar with this yet, but anxious to learn.  Thanks!
