I want to thank DavGerm4 for putting the tutorial on this site it really made it easy. Going back to command prompt to install programs is tough, but i'm getting thru it.

I do have a few questions. Is there a way to boot to the XMB, or do I have to boot linux the go to command prompt every time and then enter boot-game-os?

Also I've been toying with backing up my blurays to the hard drive. I created a 10gb partition for linux. Linux uses around 4gb of this. I was trying to back up Talladega Nights and it quit when the partition was full. How can I increase the size of the partition?

I do want to back up more of my blurays. Since I haven't been successful yet i don't know how to play them back. Is it as simple as clicking on the iso thru my linux setup? Do I need additional software to play it?

What kind of enternal hard drive can i use? Is usb ok? I read something about only being able to use fat32 and 4gb partitions. How could I fit a bluray in a 4gb partition?

I read I could get a notebook to pc (2.5 inch to 3.5) adapter. Is this what I have to do to get a bunch of blurays on the hdd? USB would be much better. I saw a 400gb usb external drive on sale at staples a couple of weeks ago at staples for 89.95. A couple of those would really be what i'm looking for. To go with the 3.5 external ATA would be more expensive and not as neat.

I really apreciate any help you can provide.
