120GB+ HD in a USB 2 or Fireware external drive caddy?
Maxtor (and others) do ready built solutions that include software for easy backup.
Alternatively, something like this for sub £30 and then fit your choice of HD. 160GB HDs are sub £50 (ex VAT).

Thats only 3 mins 30 sec at 16x on my writer (per DVD) at 4.7gb a shot - that is only about 13/14 discs - so about 45 mins to an hour.

easiest way is just buy another hard drive 
they ae cheap enuf now, and its always good to have a spare drive with an operating system on incase you fubar yours 
that way you can recover most things without any problems 
plus its a doddle to delete files that wont move because they say they are part of the system, as once its a slave

kinda what I thought - an additional HD in a Firewire/USB2 caddy.
Just didn't really fancy backing up on to so many DVDs (some files are are also over 4.8 Gig, so not really an option - curse those bloody raw video files!!)
Will get one ordered from Novatech on Monday
Cheers,
Dan
