Also, how do I 'archive'?
Archive is just a word for a task in this case.

I create additional Libraries (same Structure), and (right-click) Copy to Library, that which I wish to 'Archive',
Then I cleanup

I would really recommend getting someone to help figure out why your external drive fails.
Does it have External Power (not all USB ports supply enough for rotating HD)?
