>>Something I have done since the OS2 days is install a minimal NT Setup about 100M on the second physical and use OS/2 BM to boot off it then you have true NTFS support for recovery. Yes, I also maintain a second NT system, for exactly that reason (among others). I don't use a boot manager, though. Nothing wrong with a boot manager, but I have just never wanted to introduce the added layer of dependence. No particular reason except caution. The immediate issue at hand is having a DOS environment for those things which can't be done from NT, though, not disaster recovery. Board diagnostics and bios flashing, for instance. For disaster recovery, the second NT is by far the preferable way to go. But I do keep DOS bootable too (belt AND suspenders<g>). Spots
