Ok originally I had a dual boot system and was doing some video on Xp in 
Premeir and some on Cinelerra in Ubuntu. With Openshot I no longer need 
Premeir so I no longer have XP on the machine.  Now the question is how 
can I copy the files to another drive?  Then I can repartition the 2tb 
drive ext 4 and put the files back on the drive???   Does this make 
sense?                Doug
