Why not just use (Linux) ntfsresize to get back as much of the (internal) disk as possible ???.

A couple of reasons:
1. I'd like to be able to just plug in and play my games on other PCs (most new PCs - mine included, obviously - can boot from USB)
2. I'd like to have space available to install new games and don't want to have to resize all the time.
3. I don't want to use Windows anyway so why not just have it physically removed from my computer except when I want it?
4. I'm not really using the drive for anything else right now (and I could always have multiple partitions on it if I wanted to) - and methinks getting Windows off my PC for good and being able to take my games with me is the perfect use for a 120GB external drive. I could also have other files on there too. Who knows - maybe I'll want to use it for Linux too and keep my 80GB and 20GB internal HDs open for things I won't ever need/want to take with me. Both partitions could have more space than they currently have on my 80GB.
