When I launched SD! for the first time it said that it would first erase the external firewire drive.

I have loads of other stuff on the drive I'd like to use to keep a clone of my hard drive & could really do without having to sort it out or move it right now.

If I choose the "copy newer files" option it says "no files will be removed".

Does this include all the files that are already on the drive or will the drive still be erased as in the first option?
