Back when I was doing the F35 -> 510 upgrade, the SE that was helping 
me removed the load-source drives from the F35 and told me that they 
could be reformatted and used in a PC... but they needed a special 
formatting program (that he had, of course).  He offered to reformat 
all 4 of them, if he could keep 2.

Sadly, I'm no longer there... .so I can't take him up on the offer.  
I sure could use the extra storage on the linux system. :)
