As a precaution I unplug the 300GB during windows installation now.
Doesnt the netgear SC101 only support FAT 32 though? I really need either NTFS or Linux partition table support as I do have several large files that are over the FAT 32 size limit.

" however, is the drive format, which Windows reports as SFSZ. So when I tried to run the Windows Disk check and defrag utilities on the SC drive, Windows politely declined. My contact at Zetera explained that SFSZ is a enterprise-class SAN file system from DataPlow designed for "very high-end applications and supercomputing centers". "
Which for a cheap 70 quid machine is quite awesome.
Think people need to understand what NAS, SAN, Distributed Network File Systems are. I guess in its simplest form a windows share can be considered a NAS but I have always associated true NAS as being enterprise class.
With 10Tb at ones disposal one learns quickly the benefits of building a NAS cluster.
