Do you offload your cards to your 300g HD via a laptop?

Yes, I put the P2 in the slot.
I have a G-Raid hooked up to the Firewire 800 port.
Copy P2-G-raid a full card takes about 5-6 min to copy.
Its great, a nice break after shooting for 30-60 min.

Because i will be shooting interviews (at least primarily at first) I have ordered a P2 Store to keep rolling (can we still say rolling?) I am hoping that at the end of the interview I will be able to transfer the files from the Store to a HD via my laptop without any ugly surprizes.
I've been a little skiddish about this since hearing that when using the camera as a host (which I will not do) partitions HD into 15...which I don't know if it has any remifications for my proposed workflow. Any thoughts?
