Transferring old recordings to new hard disk

I think he was using Windows speak; more correctly three partitions which is normal.
The Humax did specifically report them as "Drive 1", "Drive 2" and "Drive 3" under the "USB" heading. But you're right, they're clearly not 3 actual physical drives but rather 3 "sections" of a single physical drive - which in Windows-speak are "drives" but in Unix-speak are "partitions" (yes?)
 
They're partitions in anyones notation. Windows always talks about drives, whereas unix is concerned with where they are made to it in the integrated filesystem (which is organised to be one entity). It's noticeable that systems which are unix-like, and have graphic desktops tend to have representations on the desktop which remond one of 'drives'.
