Anyone...please answer a basic question so I can follow this discussion better....why is it valuable to have different partitions on your drive? Thanks. DB makes it easier for less experienced users to manage the programs and data separetely. generally I recommend most users do this but I avoid this practice personally because I deal with large amounts of data and want my free space all in one place. Prior to FAT32/NTFS/HPFS it was a good a idea to reducde cluster size and get improved space utilization from yuur hard drive as well. Of course, there are uses for multiboot machines which beyond the scope of a beginner question. Sean
